Blog #1 - Comment on Power Point Presentations

Dear Professor,

As an overall general comment, I found this exercise very helpful. Not only a successful group work product emerge, but by presenting the same article, a good comparison parameter was established. 

Individual comments:

Group 1: had a successful presentation. He was able to engage the public right from the start by implementing humor. Also his speech was clear and simple. This is a very important  instrument for getting the public to retain the presented information. Also, the structure of the presentation was concise while still emphasizing the main points. As a result he conveyed the main polemic of the article well.

Group 2: had good presentation. However, the group's disagreement over the structure and opinions was visible in the weak structure of the powerpoint presentation. Yet the group's biggest problem simultaneously turned out to be its strength for each individual had the opportunity to present their own personal take on the issue at hand. 

Group 3:  focused solely on engaging the public with humor. While amusing and the presentation was too short and was ultimately unable to present the complexity of article. After the presentation was over, by ignoring all previous presentations, one was unable to know what polemic the article discussed.

Group 4: had a structured powerpoint presentation in which the public acquired a knowledge about he subject being presented. The speaker was concise and clear. However, it did lack enthusiasm. This can be attributed to the fact that it was trying to avoid being too repetitive. 

Group 5: presentation was not witnessed. 

Group 6: presented well by talking freely and portraying good examples. Yet did not really engage the  audience successfully. Nonetheless, the group did stay close to the article and conveyed the main point precisely. talked free and portrayed, good examples. 

A further critique to all is that no presenter introduced the article's title, the author, and its source. When presenting someone else's work it is important to get that across to the audience. Yet overall, all presenters did very well!
