SPC Theme Project Presentation Review

SPC Theme Projects Review

Emanuelle Guillemi

Today, I will be reviewing the projects that the three groups received, had to with current event topics that are relevant to our society at this very moment. Each individual group was assigned two sub-topics to work from pertaining to issues we are facing in the United States. The groups presented a PowerPoint where each member narrated their slide while providing information on their topics. It, however, was very evident that some groups put more effort into completing their projects than the other.

Group One

Group One was the first group to present and they were given the sub-topics of Education and Law & Order-Protest/Rallies. It was very interesting to see all of the facts that were brought up on these issues because it has been issues that have sparked recent protests around major cities in the United States. The group also touched on the topic of education and the gun violence that plagues schools. I did notice that Group One had issues with not all members showing up for their presentation and most of the people presenting were not using webcams. However, for the people that were able to present, they did a very good job displaying information pertaining to their topics. Their fluidity and presentation skills have grown since the beginning of the course, and it's pleasing to see a very well done presentation!

Group Two

Group two presented on Wednesday just after Group One's presentation. This group presented the matters of Healthcare and Immigration, which have been two of the largest issues being faced in politics within American society since the 2000s. Group two did a great job in mentioning past records of healthcare and immigration policy in order for the audience to understand the context of the information being presented in order to have an educated opinion on the subject matter at hand. The group showed videos that did a great job of showing just how much these issues are affecting our communities both locally and nationally. I will have to sadly admit that I believe that this group performed the most poorly compared to the other groups. I heard multiple times from their own group members that the times that they attempted to reach out to each other, nobody would respond. That is very careless for the group to do since they should be working together to make sure that their project is done correctly and ready for the presentation. I can understand when there are technical difficulties, but there were presenters that didn't even know that they were up to present. I also wish there was less text on their powerpoints because it turned into a read-along instead of a presentation where I can pay attention to the speaker.

Group Three

The final group to present was Group Three. This was the group that I participated in and we presented last on Friday. In our presentation, we discussed the topics on racial divides and the pandemic in the United States. Both of these issues have been the most recent in the country, and the escalation of protests due to racial divides has increased dramatically since the death of George Floyd on May 25th. We communicated very eloquently throughout the presentation to put our points across to the classroom. I personally used a quick one minute video of the most recent protests to show just how serious the protests have become around the country. Our group did commit an error in virtually none of us using a webcam throughout the presentation. I personally do not have a webcam, and I found that to be an issue so I will try to buy one within the coming days in order to participate better when I present. I think it was very easy for the class to understand the presentation, and I even filled in for a student that did not have a part ready for the PowerPoint. I believe that proved without a doubt to the class that we had done prior research into our topics instead of just reading off our slides.

       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.
