Public Speaking- The Evolving Art By Sherri Sinkoff: Review of Class Presentations


Last week, we were split into groups and were assigned to make a power point about Public Speaking. Each group as assigned different chapters that each focused on different areas of public speaking.
Lets review what each group presented, and how they presented it.


    Group 1: 

Group 1 did Chapter 1,2,3, and 5. They presented some examples from famous figures like Aristotle in order to persuade us to their viewpoint, which helped keep the reader engaged throughout. I think everyone in group 1 did a good job presenting their slides and nobody really made a big mistake. They included  enough words in the power point to get the point across without having too much for the audience to read each slide. They accompanied this with having lots of pictures each slide that gave the audience some visual stimulation and helped get the point across better while keeping the audience engaged. 

    Group 2: 

Group 2 was my group, and we did chapters 4,6,7 and 8. Our presentation focused mostly on how to inform your reader on your topic and back up the information presented with a multitude of things like examples, testimonies, definitions, etc. When it comes to our power point I think we did a good job packing the key points of the chapters into each slide without bloating i tup with too many words. I also tried my best to include as least 2 pictures each slide in order to give the audience something to give them stimulated, as just having words each slide can make the audience space out and not focus on your presentation. I think each of my group members did a good job presenting their slides, and each slide was whole and complete. 

    Group 3:
Group 3 did Chapter 9, 11, 13, and 15. They focused on how to to make the most out the limited words you can put in your presentations and how to convey feelings and stimulate your audience by including pictures in your presentations. I liked their power point a lot as it was full of information while not being bloated. They made the best out of the limited words they had and complimented it well with some good pictures. When it comes to their presentation, while it was very informative, I felt like they could have had some more audience interaction in between slides or asking the audience some questions, instead of just reading the power point aloud. 

    Group 4:
Group 4 did Chapter 12, 14, 16, and 17. I think this group had the hardest chapters to present, as they had to to present the chapters that conclude that part of the textbook, which meant they had to include things from a lot of prior chapters in their presentation. That being said, I think they did a great job cramming all that information in their power point. While, so much information could be overwhelming, they did a fantastic job including many pictures in each slide to compliment it.

Daniel Kalil  11/3/2024 Blog#2 Reflecting on Election Matters: A Personal Journey toward Informed Voting As this year's election season approached, I found myself feeling apprehensive and somewhat unprepared. While I understand the mechanics of voting and the importance of elections, I really did not feel that I understood the candidates, pressing issues, or even the broader election process. Election Matters presentations did that for me, because I got a more intimate look at things I wasn't taking the time to delve into, and I was able to come away more confident and informed about the impact of my vote-or, in the near future, my right to vote. I came away much more grounded in the issues at hand, having a revitalized respect for the importance of informed voting.   Key Takeaways from Election Matters Presentations In the Election Matter presentations, a number of topics presented have struck a chord with me and really opened my eyes. The most memorable was on immigration...

 Elections Matters As the election season heated up, I was feeling very anxious and extremely unprepared. I knew all the basics about voting, but when it came to the candidates, key issues, and overall process I was confused and lost. This all changed when I watched and heard my classmates presentations about election matters. These presentations provided an in-depth look at the aspects I had previously overlooked. I walked away with a newfound confidence and understanding of the impact of every individuals vote.   It is amazing how much of a difference it makes when we are informed about the issues and candidates. Having a deeper understanding of the election process can really empower us to make our voices heard.  Key Points from the Presentations  My classmates presentations were all good in my opinion and they were very informative. The presentation that most stuck out to me was from group 4 about gender equality. It struck me knowing that the world still st...

 Laura Garcia Blog 2 Reflections The Importance of Voting: A Reflection on Civic Duty Going into this election cycle, I wasn't even sure if I would vote. I was always a little insecure about my knowledge with regard to the political world and did not want to make a decision when I knew nothing about it. Social media and all conversations were filled with news about the candidates, but I had never taken the time to do extensive research on the platforms, policies, and what the leadership of each candidate could mean for the nation. It was not until being assigned this project that I was forced to delve deep into the current political environment in America. As such, this assignment required me to do extensive research and receive numerous viewpoints regarding the candidates and their policy stances. After I presented my findings, I was able to listen to the projects prepared by my classmates and got further clarification on most of the uncertainties that had been in my mind. By the ...
