So, it is obviously not about what I know as a graduate student, but more about how I present myself. I both agree and disagree with my assessment! It becomes ever so easy for most to apply just the right amount of bull with the actual material, and this can cloud ones actual take on the material. One would then preceive that the presentee "really knows their stuff". But, where does the misconnection come into play? When does your appearance and attitude become not enough? Even in a sense of, you really know what you are talking about! You really have a point, a goal of making those that you are presenting to understand your logic, so why don't they see it?
I then calmed down and came to grips with my grade, honestly it was what I expected. I then got to hear what a great presentation sounded like...I was blown away. It was then obvious that I was graciously given then grade I got.
What is the point, just because you thought you tried hard doesn't mean you really did. I didn't, and it was obvious. I could have connected that material better. My sources were related to a point, but that point was a thin line of "How good am I to present this?!" While I do know how to talk, and present myself in a professional manner; I did not get my point across. I was too technical! Me, technical! Ha Well to the one that mattered I was, so for those lowly uneducated grad students that some how made it this far, sorry I did not "Dumb" it down enough for you!
My next presentation will be on Soils. That is it. Why does soil matter? If that is too technical, then I'm screwed!
