Taking Questions
When giving presentations, it is common practice to encourage audience involvement and this often takes the form of questions from the floor. A good deal has been written recently discussing the pros and cons of various approaches to handling these. (0)___H___
One approach is to take questions as and when they arise. Usually there are only a few points from the floor but in the event of receiving too many, the presenter may move the presentation on by reminding the audience of the time, and offering to continue the discussion later. 【P1】______.Those who aren’t will simply have to wait.
Another approach is to ask for questions after each main point has been addressed. A danger here is that too much time may be sacrificed to questions and, as a consequence, important parts of the message have to be edited out. The audience may also confuse the presenter by asking about points that he or she intends to cover later in the presentation. If this happens, it is important to make the audience aware that any such queries will be dealt with during the course of the session. 【P2】______
Alternatively, mid-point questions can be discouraged by signalling, during the introduction, that you would prefer questions at the end. If you take this approach, however, it is important to bear in mind that when you get to the end, it may take a little time for people to adjust and to reflect on what they have heard and to formulate a question they want to ask. 【P3】______.To overcome this, it is useful to have a chairperson to direct the proceedings or a colleague ’planted’ in the audience who is prepared to ask the first question if necessary. A chairperson can also help by ensuring mat questions are taken in turn. This is particularly useful if you have an over-eager questioner who tries to monopolise attention. 【P4】______.
Another potential problem is hostile questioners who ask the kind of question they know will be difficult to answer. This may be done in an attempt to destroy the presenter’s case and every effort must be made to limit the damage and to search out opportunities to gain advantage. It is always a good idea to be aware of the traps that this type of questioner may try to set. 【P5】______.Even then, it may be that you do not know the answer, in which case the safest response is to say so. The rest of the audience may appreciate your honesty. It may also be possible to move the attention away from the questioner by asking the rest of the audience if anyone else can provide an answer.
Sometimes members of the audience may attempt to put forward an alternative case or demonstrate their own competence by making a lengthy claim rather than asking questions. 【P6】______. For example: ’Yes, I think we need to bear some of these points in mind. May we have the next question, please?’
Example:
A Other members of the audience may quickly become frustrated if this means that their questions remain unanswered.
B An opportunity may still arise to make the point clearer and eliminate any such ambiguity.
C Acknowledging the statement and then seeking a question from someone else can be an effective way of moving the session on.
D This approach indicates to the audience that answering their questions now might undermine the clarity and structure of the talk.
E A statement such as ’I will come back to this point at the end’ should keep most people happy.
F Anticipating potential weaknesses in your argument and how you might respond to questions about them is an important aspect of your preparation.
G There is even the possibility that an embarrassing silence may ensue.
H However, my intention here is simply to present the most common strategies.
