Today we mostly tweaked the slides after we got evaluated. We were't able to get a lot done but one thing I would've improved the white line that showed up when the inserted the pictures.

On this day, we started our evaluation with the group. Personally, I think that there are many things that I would say that I need improvement on. One of the several things was, the time of speech. During the presentation it ended up with me only talking for a minute even though during the practice, I've expected to talk for 2-3 minutes. One way that I can improve this is by getting more content to talk about. I only had the placement of tables to talk about during our presentation, but I think I should've talked about some other idea too. Another thing I would of liked to improve is the eye contact and movement. This was mostly during the video portion of the presentation when I was mostly looking at the screen and not talking to the audience. the best way to improve this in my opinion was to practice more. By practicing to talk over the video I would be able to look at the audience more and be less nervous while presentation.

Today was the last group of presentation. I think that this group did very well and were really prepared. This may be because they went last but still, I thought they did most things perfectly. One thing I didn't understand was the idea of writing lines on the floor. I thought that this ideas was very spacious and will make the school dirty. One of the ideas that I liked was the idea of the map. Since I pretty new to the school, I can get lost in such a large campus. With this idea I can start to remember the map of the school easier.

Today we listened to two groups present their ideas. One thing that I've noticed is that the presentations have gotten better as more groups present. For example group 4 only had one thing that was mainly pointed out by the group. I also heard a member of the last group talk about how they fixed the problem that the group had. The second group had a member that panicked during the presentation but I understand that that one thing that might happen when presenting. One thing that I could do to prevent this from happening is practicing the slides numerous times and knowing what I am going to say. It was interesting to see the ideas that the other groups had about making the school more enjoyable.

The summary of the day was that we watched two groups present. One problem I mainly saw with this group is that the talking time was not balanced. Some people only talked for less than a minutes and the main person talked for another 5 minutes. This made it look like some people didn't do any work and the one person did all the work. Another problem was the there were a lot of umms and likes. This put the influence that the speaker didn't know what they were talking about and the main way to fix this is to be confident on what you were going to say.

On this day we started our presentation. Our group was the second group to present. I think that our group should have practiced more on the presentation because at some parts of the presentation, we panicked on when to move to the next slide. Another thing we should of checked was the rubric and all the things we had to include in our slides because we missed a few easy things that we could've prevented. Personally, if we practiced more I think we would have done better.
