is this referring to a presentation someone prepared about a subject, or is this referring to someone looking sloppy?

Definitely the former. Think PowerPoint, not hobo. :)

can you say "sin" here instead of "din"?

No, sin can only refer back to the 3rd person – han, hon, den, det or de.

You can make your presentation better is another way of saying this.

I'm wondering, why is that not accepted as a correct answer? I know it's not the exact translation, but many translations are accepted as correct even though they are not exact translations, as long as they mean the exact same thing. And "make better" means the exact same thing as "improve".

We generally do not accept semantic equivalents if they have a perfectly good corresponding phrase in Swedish. In this case, "make better" is göra bättre.
