I prepared over ten presentations for this class during the semester. I learned that it was best to have some attack plan prior to the presentation (this may be common sense). By at least memorizing a few things as a general outline will help the presentation to run much smoother. This also reduces stress when your up there. I aslo felt that as the semester went on, I was able to get to know the peers in my class better, and I was more comfortable giving the presentations. I learned that slides and props can be a big distraction. I found myself looking at props and slides more than the audience at times.
