When I was speaking on "Design Patterns and Application Frameworks" at Dept Of Computer Science,Karachi University, couple of weeks back I learned a big thing. The big thing was
"Keep the questions for the end !"
I usually try to make sessions more interactive and dont do it the traditional teacher/student way. Rather I prefer to have a live audience that respond to pulses being generated. However having said that, too much of questions ( or may be discussion) during the talk can lead to time slip, lost focus, and irritated audience.
So whenever you make a presentation make sure that you either keep your questions for the end or keep numbers/durations of questions limtied during the talk.
Thats it for now!
