Presentations

One of the quiz questions was how long should a presentation last. I put no more than two hours and the the answer was as long as it takes. The attention span of learnings today is generally 45 minutes to a hour. Can I get some feedback on this answer?

Tonetia,
Good question & thank you for following up. In reality I think the spirit of that quiz question is getting at the idea that your presentation should probably not even approach the two hour mark (keep in mind this course is designed more for presentations rather than classroom instruction, think in terms of public speaking). So when the response says "as long as it takes" it is referring to the idea not to limit yourself to 10 minutes, but take 15 or 20 if necessary, which definitely fits into the attention span. I hope this helps.
