Group Presentations April 30th

Group 1: The Truth behind Diets by Irania, Randee and Jessica

My group

 

Group 2: Space Exploration by Blake, Daniel, and Doyle

+        Good voice projection and volume

+        Interesting topic

+        Like how the person who had the original topic talked a lot about the history.

+        Liked how it was clearly stated the different viewpoints in the presentation (gov’t vs. private companies)

+        A lot of background information and supporting details on both sides for gov’t rule and private company rule

+        Related to the class with watching certain movies

+        People know when they were supposed to go and didn’t read off the slides/screens.

+        Good solution to combine the ideals of both

 

Group 3: Hypocrisy is a Whore by Sal, Bryan, and Carlo

-   Read off of slides too much

+        Good division of talking by determination of the work they put in.

+        Good way to connect with audience with Hannah Montana => dancing on Robin Thicke, the movie Wolf on Wall Street, and a scenario from South Park.

+/-   Took the idea of prostitution o how people can relate on a daily bases like paying for you girlfriend – paying for sex.

-   Got off topic sometimes

-   I personally got lost as to what they were arguing until the end. As well as what the problem and question was.

+        Talked from the point of view from the prostitute (possibly why they’re were out there in the first place, no one knows their backstory)

-   Started running out of time, and felt rushed towards the end.

-   Didn’t end all that strong.

Group presentations April 28th

Group 1: Altered State of Legality by Spencer, Thai and Melissa

+  Had a lot of background information

-   Very little verbal citations when presenting

+  Great use of charts and pictures/visuals

-  Seemed like at certain points during the presentation, people didn’t know exactly what they were talking about and read off the slides or when it was their turn they would look at each other for confirmation.

-  Wasn’t too sure when to go on to the next slide.

+  Good volume (projection of voice)

+  Showed different viewpoints on their topic.

+  Good connection with audience in bringing everyone together to think about how when we took the drugs and alcohol class in the beginning of the spring semester.

+  Good conclusion: how you tied everything together. Very strong.

For the arrests, how much does a person have to have in their possession to get arrested?

What are some of the negative effects of the use of marijuana?

Group 2: Show Me the Money by Dana, Thor, Ben and JB

-   Wasn’t too sure who was to go next during the presentation. Some read off of the slides

+  But got it down as the presentation went on

-   In the beginning there was no verbal citation

+  but towards the end started to verbally cite

+   Good background information – felt that those who are college student athletes were smart to talk about their own personal experience with the topic and talking about what they know.

-   There was a lot of text on the slides.

+   Good visuals and explaining the pictures

Money distribution from who to the athlete(s)?

+  Like the use of offering different modes of changes that can be made with the NCAA

+ For the most part – very good volume and voice projection

+  Good arguments for and against.

How would college student-athletes getting paid change the dynamic of school and playing in prioritization?

How about for those who get red-shirted, do they get paid the same as the starters?

Group 3: Fast Food in America by Matt, Jose and Brett

-  In the beginning it seemed like they didn’t know who was saying what. But got it down as the presentation went on.

+  Like how there’s not all text on the slides and there were pictures

+  Good voice projection

+  verbally cited quotes or statistics from the articles

+  Good use of humor throughout the presentation

+  Good job connecting to the audience because this topic is very relatable because everyone likes or eats fast food (plus the interaction and example with Doyle).

+  Presented different point of views

+ Liked how you ended it with your view points on the subject.

Multimodality Group Project and Reflection Paper

In our group I had the part, as everyone else, to find two articles that implement dieting can lead to developing eating disorders along with typing up the outline to base the presentation on. It was a group effort to put everything together. One struggle was coming together in the past week due to one member’s family things and so the other member and I had to put together the last few slides and parts of the outline to complete the presentation. We assigned who says what based on number of slides and the content of the slides to match up with whoever’s article we used for that specific slide. I believe we succeeded in working hard together and communicating on how things should go for the presentation. Personally I don’t like working in groups and in the past I always felt that I should take over or that I had to do all of the work, but in this group I felt that the work was divided up equally. Although one member and I got together twice without the other girl, we kept her updated and are getting together again before we present to make sure everything goes smoothly and present for the correct length of time. As a group, you would see the group effort each of us put in and I believe we deserve an A because we put in a lot of work. We met up four times to work on this project and one more time this week to work on the speaking portion of the presentation. We did all that was asked of us and really thought about our topic and how we can persuade our classmates to diet right and present developing eating disorders. I think that I also deserve an A because I did my part in doing my homework and finding articles and doing research for this project, along with typing the outline to refer off of during our speech and cooperating with my group to get everything done. Also I had met up with my group several times to make sure everything was going smoothly and meet the standard of the assignment.
