Question and Answer sessions
At the end of your presentation you should always have a Q and A session so if your audience is confused at one thing you said you can clarify their understanding and you can also go into more detail about anything you skimmed over. This is also useful as it shows how well you presented and explained because in theory, the less questions the better as it means everyone understood what you were trying to say. Sometimes though it could just be the audience want a bit more detail so a lot of questions should not always be received as meaning you did a bad presentation.
This can also show how well the speaker can perform under pressure as the questions should be spontaneous and the speaker wouldn’t have known beforehand what they were going to be asked. This is the most engaging part of a presentation with the audience allowed to express their opinions and contribute to the presentation and will allow them to fully comprehend what it was you were trying to deliver to them in your presentation.
This also allows you to see how engaged the audience were with your presentation as if they ask a question you have already explained earlier in your presentation then you know they haven’t been paying attention. You can also examine the faces of the audience to see how engaged they look, whether they are slouching with a bored/disinterested look or whether they are leaning forward eager to learn more about whatever you were presenting.
