500 word description on group work


Group 8

Amber McAllister, Chancelvie Louzolo, Joseph Albers

As a group, I thought that we had a well thought out presentation, given the time restraints that we had in class.  Also, I think that we could have made many improvements to our presentation as well.  Some of the improvements that we could have made are not reading off our presentation, more content, and more preparation into the presentation.

                Firstly, we had problems reading off our presentation to the class.  As a result, our fellow peers were less engaged in our presentation.  One way that I believe we can improve this by is going over and practicing our presentation.  Another way to improve this is by giving eye contact to all of your audience throughout your presentation.   We had only gone over it in class one time before we went up and presented out topic.  I do know that there was a lot of confusion about which group member was going to do what part of the presentation.  We can solve this by delegating which group member has which part of the presentation to go over in class.

                Secondly, I thought we could have used some more content in the presentation.  Some of this was due to this being our first presentation in class and we were confused on how we were going to give the presentation in general.  I feel that I was lacking in content in our presentation in class, I believe I can solve this problem relatively easy and I have to use better time management in class.  I had troubles trying to start my part of the presentation because I have not given a presentation in a very long time, due to the fact I have not been in school for over four years.  As a result, I have lost some of my writing skills and my public speaking is lacking as well.

                Thirdly, your preparation into the presentation I believe is the most important process you must complete for giving a well done presentation.  Ways we can improve this is by knowing all your content and being able to say all of it in your presentation.  I thought that each group member knew what they had studied for the presentation but could have used more time in rehearsing each sentence we would say on our presentation in front of the class.  Also, time management in your preparation is very important in class because we were given an allotted time to come up with the material and organize your writing in the presentation.

                Overall, I thought our presentation was done well for being the first presentation we had to give in class.  We had covered all the material that we needed to give the presentation on our subject in class.  I believe that all the presentations were done well but also could use improvement.  In conclusion, I believe these three points are essential in giving a well done presentation, not reading word for word off computer to the class, giving detailed content, and having enough preparation on your presentation.
