Group Presentation Reflection

Presentation Reflection

    For our first assignment of the semester, the class was divided amongst three groups and every group was given a chapter based on the professors Sinkoff choice. We were asked to create a presentation based on the chapter that you received, we had complete creative freedom, no rubric was placed for this assignment. It was an interesting assignment as we all had so much freedom in how we chose to pursue the project. The three chapters presented were 3, 9, and 10. Based on the three presentations there where many details that I noticed as an audience and as a presenter myself.

Group 1 

    Chapter 3 was given and presented by group 1, the topic was intercultural communication. Group 1 presented their project effortlessly. They divided the sections amongst everyone and paired up with each other to complete specific sections. Their presentation had to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing presentations out of the three, they provided many visuals and little words. When each person would present they all sounded like they had researched their topic and knew exactly the information that they were presented to the class. The only downside to their presentation is that many of the presenters put in videos with their slides and it cut down the time for a lot of others. Towards the end of the class, I noticed that the presenters were speeding up a little because they were in a tough time crunch. Group 1 did a wonderful job, I would just advise them to talk before the presentation to review how long each person will be presenting so everyone has time to go through their sections.
Group 2 
   
   

Communication in groups is the topic that surrounds chapter 9, group 2 was assigned to this section of the project. I would say that they truly embodied the information that they were presenting, the entire group seemed to be on the same page. Some presenters did tend to read directly from the screen and not add any more details than the one displayed. Group 2 was the group that played the most videos, even though videos are highly encouraged it is always best to keep them short and sweet if it takes time away from other presenters. I also think it's very primitive that the entire group is there in the presentation, it creates an awkward tension in the class when someone does not join the class for their own presentation. Groups should communicate 15 minutes before class to ensure that everyone is up and ready to present.

Group 3

    The last group presented chapter 10, group leadership, and problem-solving, this was the group that I was apart of. My group and I were always in constant contact to make sure that everyone was doing their
part of the assignment, no one was ever left out. One thing that my group did do incorrectly was we did not turn on our cameras during the presentation. One person didn't do it and it sort of created a ripple effect to all of us. We know that it is important for your audience to see you while you're presenting because if not your nothing but just a voice. When you give the audience a visual image of the presenter they can tell how the presenter may feel about the topic and if they truly know the material that they are covering or are they just reading off a notepad. I will ensure that my group turns on their cameras for the upcoming project.
This presentation was the beginning of many to come, as we advance in the course and gain more confidence I believe that everyone enrolled in the course will be a master presenter.

SPC Group presentation blog post - Alfred Vizcaino

       In my speech class we did 3 separate presentations on different things in the United States. The six topics that we needed to cover across the 3 groups were Law and order-protests and rallies, Education, Health care, immigration, Racial divides, and the Pandemic. To start off, group 1 had Law and order-protests and rallies as well as education. For all the groups we were supposed to include things such as an Agenda, a presentation, a brochure while including information about their topics. Group one’s presentation was very good; their brochure and their agendas were easy to understand. The information in their presentation was very important related to todays issues. And the individuals presenting the presentation were very well informed of the topic they were speaking about. As well as the information on the brochures and the agendas were very informative. You could tell that all of individuals were well informed of the topic and they did their research to do...

SPC Project 2 Review - Anthony Menendez

 I'll be reviewing the three groups' project on the topics we were assigned. When reviewing the groups, I'll be explaining their topics and how they went about their presentations. In my first review, I'll review group 1's topic and that is Law and Order. Then the next review, is on group 2. With the final review on group 3. Group 1 had a good presentation with a good topic. Group 2 had a great topic with a weak presentation. Group 3 had a great topic and great information, but a mediocre presentation due to circumstances out of their hands.  In group 1's presentation, they spoke about law and order. They had a good topic and an equally as good of a presentation. However, their communication during the presentation was a bit off. But let me explain, my favorite part of their presentation, is how they used historical references. The way group 1 used historical data to explain law and order. I like to learn the history of things, and it was interesting learning th...

Big Theme Project Reflection

 Theme Project Reflection Camila Perez SPC 1017 November 5,2020 Group 1      T he first group up to present was logically group 1, they talked about Law and Order-Protests/Rallies along with education. Two topics that have constant relevance in our lives. I believe that group one did an exceptional job in their presentation. They made several points that fit well to their presentation, such as talking about the Black Lives Matter protest and the impact they had not only in our communities but in the entire world. You can tell that the presentation was planned very strategically since all of the topics flowed very nicely. All of the presenters spoke with confidence and accuracy, I would say that the group improved majorly since the previous presentation.
