I like Steve Jobs always wore the same thing to his presentations. His presentations were some of the few good ones I've seen, some of the worst presentations I've seen have been at school because no one wants to do them. The best would have to be the clips I just saw. I don't like giving presentations since they're usually stuff I don't care about.
I like that Steve Jobs's presentations are created amazingly because they do not give all the information. They only need a few words, or a picture. Most presentations I've seen are very bad. The worst presentation I have ever seen is that SAT presentation at the SAT preparation assembly earlier this year. It was so boring. One thing I struggle with when I present is that I don't quite elaborate on my points, and I'm not usually visual.
I like Steve Job's opening lines. I have seen more bad presentations. The worst presentation I have ever seen is any elementary presentation. The best I have ever seen is Steve Job's presentation. I have trouble pronouncing words correctly and being understandable.
I love the fact that Steve Jobs is so passionate and enthusiastic about his products. I've seen my fair share of good and bad presentations. I feel like every day I sit in some classrooms and get a bad presentation every day. The worst presentations would have to be the ones I see every day. Some teachers really need to learn from Mr. Steve Jobs. I struggle with having correct posture and making eye contact with the class while presenting.

Steve Jobs is a great presenter. The thing I like most about his presentations is probably the way that he keeps his audience entertained. It is key because his audience would most likely be the first ones to go out and buy the product if he presents it well, or the last ones if his presentation sucks. I've seen lots of good presentations and I've also seen very bad ones. The worst presentation I've seen are ones from students in class who just don't care. The best are from this video.
I like that Steve Jobs uses a lot of visuals in his presentations. It helps the audience further understand the message he is trying to convey. I have probably seen more bad presentations because people don't know the proper way to present. The worst presentations are the one's that lack visuals and just include text and data. The audience needs to stay interested in what you are trying to sell to them. I struggle with speaking in front of people when presenting to a class.
I like Steve Jobs, hes a very educated speaker and keeps the audience at the edge of there seats. I like his words that he uses not just simple ones such as extraordinary that grabs your attention. I've seen more bad presentations then good. The worst I have ever seen is in elementary school. The best that I have seen is Steve Jobs. I don't really feel as if I struggle with anything, I just try to keep there attention.
I like how he makes presentations so efficiently with casual clothes on. I don't keep a track record of good/bad presentations. And I don't remember the best or the worst presentation I've seen. The thing that I struggle with when it comes to presentations is... waiting for my turn. I want to get it over with.
The element that is the best is that Steve Jobs had hands on stuff and he had very good ideas for slide shows. Also, the part when he says rehearse because that is what wrong with most presentations. I have seen more bad presentations. People get really nervous and mess up. I am a very bad at presenting. I was and still is the worst presentation I have ever saw and the best presentation I saw was a man at church when he went to East Asia and talked about what he did. I like it when people get excited and encouraged about it. I get really nervous when I present so I do not like doing it.
Steve Job's presentations are the best i've ever seen. He keeps the audience interested and does not bore them. The worst presentations I have seen are in school. People are forced to give them when they don't want to so no one really tries to make it fun. I have never had much chance to do a presentation on something I actually enjoy. My problem is that I am not good at putting my thoughts in a presentation and think ahead ending up lost.
I like Job's presentation because he helps you understand and doesn't show just text on a screen. The best presentation I have ever seen was probably the few clips from Steve Job's. The worst, I would have to say here at school cause we stand in front of the class and just rush it. I have seen more bad presentations than good. I struggle with making sure I am paying attention to my viewers.
The element I like most about Steve Job's presentations is his enthusiasm and passion. He makes them interesting so you can be excited too. The thing I struggle with the most when giving a presentation is all the eyes staring back at me. Its hard to concentrate on what I am about to say when I'm being stared at. I'll often loose my focus and ruin the presentation unless if I have everything written out word for word. I can't just "wing it"!
I like the fact that Steve Jobs is very into his presentations. It's like he's actually excited about presenting his products. Unlike the horrible presentations I have encountered. Every presentation I have seen or heard the person is always being lazy, slurring their words, or their just plain boring! My main thing is when I'm prese4nting I really don't care about it mostly because I don't want to do it and plus I get real nervous when reading or doing something in front of a lot of people.
I like that Steve Jobs' really gets into his presentation and is so ethusiastic about it. I've seen several bad presentations, mostly at school. There all so boring. Some of the worst presentations I've seen have taken place at school. But I've seen a really good one,at Fullsail University. The one thing I struggle with most during a presentation, is that I start to stutter and I lose focus and forget what I was talking about.
I like Steve's hand motions the most, they really convey his message with a sense and power that just speaking cannot. I've done a lot of public speaking, I've gone to regionals for forensics on Impromptu speaking,and I saw some horrible speeches, but I also saw some electrifying ones, speeches that really got my blood flowing. The best and worst I've ever seen, were both at regionals. The worst speech I have ever seen, was about 30 seconds long. It went something like this, and was spoken in broken english: "Students fail tests all the time. 50% of students fail tests because of technology. I think we should stop giving technology to students." Not really a riveter....and the % was made up on the spot. The best I have ever seen was this student whose name I cannot recall for some reason, but it was also on failing a test. His speech was 7 minutes long, the maximum time you could have for impromptu speaking. The whole seven minutes, he had me riveted, and laughing. He won 1st place that year. I was around 4th or 5th place that year, but hey, that's better than anyone else in the school! Most of the time though, I don't have a problem presenting to the class, I really don't mind it at all.
I like how his presentations are short and to the point. I have seen more good presentations then bad ones. The worst presentation I have seen was in the classroom. I know most students aren't use to being in front of the class room, but they didn't even open their mouth. The one thing I have a problem with is when it comes to the presentation I wait for the last minute to prepare for it.

I honestly love every single thing about Steve Jobs' presentations. I love how passionate he is about what ever he is speaking about, whether it be his products or his own personal life like he did at UCLA's graduation one year. I have seen more bad presentations than good ones, because a lot of speakers cannot hold the attention of their audience. In one of the worst presentations I have seen, the speaker had trouble getting his words out and he stutter numerous times. The one thing I struggle with the most when presenting is remembering what I need to speak about and I tend to speak quickly.
I like the fact that Steve Jobs uses a lot visuals and is enthusiastic during his presentations. I have probably seen more bad presentations because a lot of people just don't care. The best presentation I have seen would be the clips I just saw in the video. I struggle with nerves and eye contact.
I love how Steve Jobs hooked the audience with words that correlated with his presentation. The way he presented the MacBook Air was unique and grabbed the attention of the audience. He has demonstrated what not only a good presentation is, but what a wonderful presentation is. A bad presentation is when the demonstrator doesn't make eye contact with the audience and speaks in a monotone voice. At school, I see more bad presentations because of the lack of motivation. Before I present a presentation I tend to get anxious, but once I start talking the nerves go away.
I like how Steve used such powerful words to really get your attention.
I like the way he presents with enthusiasm. I have probably seen more of bad presentations just because i'm in high school and people don't present very well because they are probably nervous. I struggle with eye contact the most, but I don't get to nervous in front of crowds.
The presentation he had was good and had a lot of good points. It catches the peoples attention. He uses words that help people understand what hes saying.

I like Steve Jobs' presentations because they're visual and simple. I've seen more good presentations. The worst presentations are at school, the best would probably be any new product by apple. I forget what to say when I give presentations in front of the class.
He's very good with getting peoples attention. He's good with his words. These two things im not very good at when it comes to talking to a group of people.

Steve Job's presentations always pull me in. His opening line make me want to know more. I see a mixture of good and bad presentations, but a lot of the times they may be good but I'm not interested in the topic. The bad presentations I've had to sit through have lacked the inspiring feature. They don't make me want to know more about what they have to say. I've always been pretty comfortable in front of an audience, but sometimes I have trouble with improvising.
I like the entertainment element of Steve Job's presentation. I've seen more good presentations than bad presentations. The best would have to be Steve Job's because he doesn't even have to look at the slides, he knows each and every one of them. When I present in front of people I stair off into space or just look at the slides.
The element i liked most that Steve Job's used is his "One more thing". I have seen more good presentations than bad ones. The worst presentation i have seen was because the person did not speak with their hand and was boring. The best i have seen the person used big words and didn't stay on one subject to long. I struggle the most in a presentation by being in front of a lot of people i do not know.
The part of the presentation I liked the most is how relaxed and comfortable he looks. I have seen a lot of bad presentations because people get nervous or have no desire to do it. The worst I presentation I have seen is here in school, but the best presentation I have seen is one from the Imaginary Children. The Imaginary Children presentation really grabbed my attention and made me want to make a difference. One thing I struggle the most with when presenting is adding a lot of character to what I say. I think this video was very helpful and I will benefit from it a lot.
His presentation is very straight to the point. He has no problem with speaking either, he knows what is on the slide without even looking at it. I think I have seen more bad ones then good. People always rushed through them , so they can just say that they finished them. The worst presentation I have see was when a student like rushed through it, they forgot a lot of details and everything. One thing i struggle with when presenting is the audience i'm not a peoples person.
I think he does really good presentations. I like how he keeps it simple. Some people jump all around while giving presentations. And I loose interest then. I struggle with eye contact when giving presentations.

I like how he doesn't just read the text on the screen he actually say more information then on the screen. I've seen more boring presentations then good presentations. The worst presentation I've been in was one where they didn't really come with anything to show and it was kinda boring, when he asked if anyone had any questions no one raised there hand because they didn't understand what he was presenting. I don't really think I've seen a good presentation. The thing i struggle the most when presenting is looking at everyone I kinda start to stutter and not even want to talk anymore.
I like how enthusiastic he is. It just makes everything so much more believable. I have seen more bad presentations, that's probably because they are nervous. The thing I have trouble with during presentations, is I get very nervous in front of crowds, and everyone is looking at me. I also don't speak very loud and people can't hear me.

Steve Jobs is probably the best presenter that i've seen. The worst presentations ive seen have been here at school.The one thing that i struggle with is being in front of crowds, i get extremely nervous.
I really enjoy how Steve Jobs presents; he doesn't get off topic or sit and read the PowerPoint. He walks all around and has very little on the slides and just talks about them, making contact, and using to whole stage. I probably have seen more bad presentations from being in school and having to do them. The worst presentation I have seen would probably have to be this girl, where you could hardly hear her and she never looked up at her listeners. The best would probably be Steve Jobs, he does everything so well. I definitely don't like doing presentations because I get really nervous and my face will turn red, and a lot of the times I rush through it because I'm nervous and I want to get it done.
