If you're a student on the University of Cambridge's Multidisciplinary Design course (GM1), this episode has been created for you.

The episode stems from consideration of the big pitfalls presenters often fall into and provides advice on how to avoid them.

Simply by avoiding the pitfalls, you can make your presentation outstandingly good.
