Proposal Presentations Memo and Handout
The goal of the “Proposal Presentation Memos“ was to “Reflect on [our] overall group proposal effort. Demonstrate an understanding of how to manage complex group tasks. Show that [we] can produce a tactful, professional summary critique of colleagues”.
This assignment also gave us a chance to reflect on our performances and the performances of our group members as well as the overall outcome of the project.
Not meaning to sound like a broken record, I have to restate the fact that I could not be happier with the overall performance of my group members. I think that, together, we created an excellent presentation.
This was probably my favorite part because I got to use my creativity and public speaking skills. I was responsible for overseeing the presentation part of the group project. I created the PowerPoint presentation and handout formats. Before our meeting I put together several slides for the presentation. During our last meeting, we went through the PowerPoint and edited and added slides. At the last meeting we also decided what information to put on the handouts and what each of us was going to talk about during the class presentation.
The presentation went very well, in my opinion. We got very positive feedback from the class. I felt like we were very familiar with the information that was being presented. Therefore, we were able to talk to the class confidently, without having to stare at the board. I noticed a lot of people in the class, excluding my group, seemed to stutter or needed to read off the projection screen. I was very proud of my group and their public speaking abilities.
There is only one thing I would change about our presentation, and consequently the project. I would ad an explanation of what the Red and Black Game actually is. That was the only real question that was asked at the end of the presentation.
