Group presentations

Last Fridays class was a very good experience for both audience and presentors. On the informative side, I was very pleased to learn alot of valuable information about global issues happening today. The groups whose focus was on water supply was very detailed and shared alot of interesting facts. I knew about the shortage but I never understood fully why,and their explanation of contamination and allocation helped to give me a better idea. The other group who presented upon the subject of urban development also did a very nice job with their organization and delivery. They're knowledge about the top nations in the world using greenroofing compared to that of the United States tells me that there is a huge international market in this industry,and that should be appealing to all students who desire a career and want to help keep our communities healthy at the same time. My groups presenatation about food scarcity was an overall success. I believe we touched upon all the points we wanted to get across to our audience. Our organization and preparation could have been better with more practice of course, but none the less we all came together and made it work.
The other part i liked about this class period was the evaluations we got to conduct. Besides the fact that i was able to get constructive criticism about my presentation skills as well as the content of my presentation, I was able to analyze and learn from other people. Whether it was a positive or negative critique, it was very beneficial for me because I am able to apply that to my next presentation. Things such as body language and the use of filler words "like" and umm" are somethings we all must conquer in order to be great presentors as well as leaders. Learning from my mistakes is a great way for me to improve myself in various aspects of my life, and I'm sure others feel the same way.
