    He was trying to look at the front, and did not look at the transcript all the time, however, but I am not sure if he was making eye contact with the audience.

    If he put some more stress on specific words, and make it more lively, it would be better.

    1. What strong points does the speaker have?
    The presentation had a strong arrangement with supporting details with accurate details, and he had a good expressiveness.
    2. How well did the audience get to know the speech subject?
    As the audience are university students who are constantly suffering from stress, his presentation contained attractive information, helpful to control stress. There were real statics that was efficient to support his topic and his PPT had visual aids which provided specific details.

    3. Did the speech reflect adequate preparation?
    Yes, I could clearly see he had put effort in his speech, and he was comfortable of delivering his presentation which means he had practiced it repeatedly.

    4. Did the speaker talk clearly and audibly?
    Yes, his tone was comfortable and clear enough to understand. His pitch wasn’t too low or high, so it was decent to listen to.

    5. Did the speech have a definite opening, body, and conclusion?
    Yes, He opened his speech with a hook explaining a situation everybody may have been through, and moved to his body talking about why one get stressed and how to manage it using the word CALM. He concluded his speech by summing up his speech and giving advice.
    6. Please comment on the speaker’s use of notes/eye contact.
    He did not seem to look at his notecard that much, and he had decent eye contact with the audience. However it seemed that he sometimes looked in the midair.

    7. What could the speaker have done differently that would have improved the speech?
    His speech was a bit monotone, so if he put some emphasize on words or phrases would have made the speech more colorful. Also he could have looked more at the audience than the midair, however the overall presentation was very interesting and useful.
    8. What did you like about the presentation?
    His body, explaining how to deal stress using the word ‘CALM’ was very interesting. It seemed that he had deeply thought about how to deliver his speech effectively. Also the speech itself was very useful as I am also a student worried about the reasons of stress he had mentioned. His pace was very steady so the presentation was very comfortable to listen to.
