To give a good presentation you need to understand what a presentation is. Its a communication of a journey or a story, its for showing your ideas, thoughts, sharing your concepts and it's an opportunity for constructive feedback from your peers/tutors and it should have meaningful information concisely.
Before you do your presentation you should know your audience and assume they know nothing or very little about your work, so you should inform them about it and you, your role and what you're doing and how you got there/ going to get there. Your presentation shouldn't be about you and about what you look/sound like, also they shouldn't be STRESSFUL so prepare and know your subject and keep is easy and simple. Avoid using clip art because it shows that you can't be bothered or you've just rushed it.
Another thing you shouldn't do is use too much text as the message gets lost, each slide in your presentation should be important and communicate clearly. To do this you should NOT use bullet points because they kill your presentation and make it look boring.
If you're still stressed at this point then relax because the audience it there because they want to listen to you, so take a second to run through what you're going to say. Also be enthusiastic, persuasive and expressive and you should know you don't look as bad as you feel. If you MADE A MISTAKE, don't worry get over it correct yourself and carry on.
To summaries be prepared, learn your script and use cue cards or some sort of notes to help you. prepare your presentation and don't leave it to the last minute and practice it more than once, and when it comes to the presentation day arrive early and set everything up and don't forget to enjoy yourself.
