Comments on the course

There will almost never be need for me to present my highly specialized work to basically anyone who is not an expert unless I have very specific career choices which most people at MIT (in EECS) don't decide on. And even so, I probably won't have to present at a high-school level. Additionally, if you're EE, you have to dumb it down to kindergarten level because apparently nobody knows Physics after freshman spring and most of the people in course 6 are CS-focused (obviously including your recitation instructors). Basically, I think the class doesn't really meet its objective of simulating our future career experiences, such as weekly progress updates or project presentations that will happen in the work environment. I learned how to make a good presentation though.

Course Content

80% - giving presentations 15% - giving/receiving feedback 5% - playing stupid games I learned how to make a good presentation and how to evaluate a presentation. I have NOT, however, learned how to give a good presentation. I can evaluate a delivery, but I received zero tools on how to make my delivery better. We would play 2-minute games or do some "exercises" that are supposed to help us, but they don't help. Breathing in a circle 5× loudly and slowly will make me extremely dizzy and not any less nervous. In fact, I felt more nervous because my mamma didn't raise no quitter and I wasn't gonna loose to these mouth-breathers in my breathing circle but BOY was I gasping for air.

Comments on the professor

The professor doesn't have realistic standards. He wants students to not learn presentations by heart but to come up with stuff on the go and adapt real-time, but nobody can do that unless they have a natural talent for public speaking or they trained really hard. Playing an association game for 2 mins at 9 am in the morning will NOT make me able to come up with stuff on the go. He is a good speaker, but I basically couldn't take any of his advice (i.e. anything he taught) related to delivery because it was so unrealistic.

Advice

Make sure to pick a recitation where the instructors have good ratings (because some of them can be super mean and give bad grades because they feel like it).
