Group Project Reflection

My name is Anthony Menendez, and I will be reviewing a set of group presentations. The presentations are split up into three groups. Not only will I be reviewing the groups performances, but I will also be stating about additional items that they put into their presentation. Items will include, videos, and pictures. Additionally, I will also compare each group when reviewing each one of them. Also, I won't be hard on each group as this was our first project. I will treat this as a "learning moment."

Group 1 was the first to perform, so I won't be as hard on them. While group 1 had nice visuals in their presentation, first, I'd like to talk about their performance. Group 1's performance had flaws, but it's hard to get on them as, this was our first presentation, and we're also presenting from home. When you listened to group 1's presentation, it was obvious that they were reading directly from the powerpoint. While, not all the group members did this, it was however, a common theme within the group. However, group 1 did make up for it with the added visuals. I was intrigued by the added pictures and video, I believe that's what kept my attention during their presentation.

Group 2 was an improvement on the performance side, but not as interesting on the visual end. While presenting, the group members were engaging and did not have a "robot voice." What do I mean by "robot voice?" I mean, that while you were listening, you were actually paying attention. Group 2 wasn't boring with their presentation, they had an active voice and didn't read straight from the powerpoint. But I wish I can say the same for their visuals. While group 2's vocal performance was good, they underachieved with their visuals. I lost attention, during their videos as is it wasn't as engaging as group 1's visuals. Group 2 was an improvement on the vocal side of presenting, but a downgrade on the visual side of presenting. 

Before getting into group 3's performance, we saw the mistakes of the other groups and decided not to repeat them. I guess that's the perk of presenting last. Group 3 had an active voice, and none of us read straight from the powerpoint, except I did a tiny bit. While, we couldn't predict how the other groups were going to do on the visual end, we saw their mistakes on the vocal side of presenting and knew we couldn't be that same way. Luckily, we thought ahead and remembered what was on our powerpoint. When we used visuals, we knew that's a big way to keep listeners engaged. Since, everyone's favorite part of the presentation are the visuals.

All in all, this was a good first project for everyone and it was a great learning experience. But group 3 had the best presentation, as they were the best on the vocal and visual side. While we all had stuff to improve on, the first two groups had either a robot voice or boring visuals. Which group 3 had neither of those issues in our presentation. I believe in the next project, each group will show improvement on their performance from this presentation. As stated before, I examined the most important parts of each group's presentation.

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.
