After the seminar, Professor Chen expressed his recognition to students' performace and also brought requirements and suggestions. Professor Chen believed that a good presenter should take care of the audience's feelings and convey their ideas to the audience effectively in a short time. Not only a clear expression is required to transmit information effectively, but also an auxiliary body language and eye-contact with the audience. Professor Chen suggested that students can record their presentations themselves regularly and use the video to train their body languages, and also to find their shortcomings.
