Today in class we gave our presentations for the photo project. I thought that everyone did a very good job on their presentation, and one thing that I found interesting was the diversity in the kinds of projects, i.e. what kind of information was presented and how they presented it. Seeing other groups definitely gave me ideas on different ways we could have approached the project.
Following the presentations, we had a chance to reflect on our presentations and our group work. For both the top and the bottom panels, the left box was where we put ideas on what we could get rid of, while the middle box is where we put ideas for what we could continue, and the right box is where we put our thoughts on what we should add to next time. The top panels were ideas for our presentation, while the bottom panels are where we wrote things for our group work.
For our presentations, the main thing we wanted to get rid of was extraneous information while we were giving the presentation. We believed we could have been more concise in the information we presented. We thought we could continue how we made the slides, as they were simple and concise, while we also thought we had good discussion questions and a good division of topics between people. The main area that we focused on is what we could add to the project for next time. One main thing was the thought that we should have rehearsed everything more. We felt that giving ourselves more time for rehearsal would have allowed us to give a better presentation. Some other things we wanted to add were a more creative activity - we thought our discussion went well but we could have made it more creative - as well as include more research studies in the background. Starting the PowerPoint right away, as well as making a more thorough presentation, were also things we thought to add for next time.
For our group work, the main thing we wanted to get rid of was inefficiency in walking and having too long of sessions. A few things that we did that we liked this time was going through the entire presentation together, as well as making a group outline. We also liked the time that we spent as a group going to the library and getting lunch. Again, the biggest area for reflection was on what we could add for next time. We wanted to do better scheduling, to make things more efficient, as well as divide the topics during the work more efficiently. We also thought that we could talk to different groups to see what they were going to do to get some ideas on ways we could approach the project. The last ideas that we thought we could add were just making the work more efficient by starting earlier, taking more breaks, and having more meetings.
Overall, we were satisfied with the job we did on the paper and presentation, but we felt that there was a lot that we could do differently to make the future project better. This evaluation was definitely helpful in helping us see how we felt about the job we did and ways we could improve.
