Class presentations are a cruel right of passage. Inevitably in anyone's educational career, they'll have to present something in front of the class. It's equally as grueling every single time. With every set of class presentations, there are a few characters you can expect to see. Every. Single. Time.
Look out for these nine characters the next time you're unlucky enough to have to present in class:
1. The last-minute presentation
It's clear that this presenter remembered the night before (or maybe even an hour before) the presentation that it was happening. At least they tried.
2. The too-long presentation
It's unclear whether this person prepared too much or if they just don't know when to stop. Either way, you'll be staring at your watch wondering just how so much time can pass in this eternal presentation. Bonus points to this presenter if they get cut off by the professor.
3. The well-prepared presentation
It's clear this presenter spent hours working on their presentation. It's perfectly timed, executed, and really hits the mark. There is no doubt the person unfortunate enough to go after them will feel entirely inadequate.
4. The speedy presentation
This presenter either didn't prepare and had little to say or went through everything so quickly that you blinked and they were done. Either way, A+ for timeliness.
5. The flex of a presentation
This presenter is one of those people who needs everyone to know that they are better than you. No matter what the topic, they'll find a way to turn it back to their own personal gains in life. (This is not limited to sharing a personal experience only tangentially related to the topic that shows how superior they are to all of you.) Bow down to this presenter, peasants.
6. The mediocre presentation
You may not even remember that this presenter even presented something. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't good either. Perfectly mediocre.
7. The press conference presentation
For some reason, this presenter gets enough questions to equate to the length of another entire presentation. They just had an element of ~mystery~ that needed to be resolved.
8. The off-topic presentation
This presenter either misunderstood the prompt or really didn't care. Imagine a presentation on primates and someone comes up and talks about the discography of Arctic Monkeys. You can kinda see how they got there, but... why?
9. The Prezi presentation
The majority of presenters know that Powerpoint or Slides is most definitely The Move™. However, a few psychopaths exist that use Prezi for their main method of presentation. Cool transitions, bro, but at what cost?
