Samuel Carmona Refliction

     Dear blog I just wanna say that I am honestly beyond surprise on how well everything went on the 2 days of presentation. Im not going to lie to you I had many doubts about certain groups presenting just thinking about who would be nervous or who would struggle speaking in front of multiple people. if im being honest all the groups performed really well with very little errors. All of the groups left me blown away with their incredible presentations and made the audience feel involved as well

Group 1 Honestly set the tone for the beginning of the presentation. Coming at the audience with very interesting facts and useful tips for presenting a good presentation. I felt like group one really had the audiences attention the longest out of the groups. In my opinion the group that always goes first always has the most attention to the audience. This group mention various suggestions on foundations of public speaking and just listing the different points you need to provide a good a presentation. Although there was some people presenting that could use a little bit more of enthusiasm other than that I give group 1 an 8/10 in the overall presentation.

Group 2. Now you can call me bias all you want considering group 2 is the group i was in. I just want to say how beyond proud I was and how surprised I actually was not only in my group but in my self as well.  In my opinion my group had a big contribution in understanding and listing key points and how a presentation should go while speaking to a big group of people.When giving a presentation, it is important to be well prepared so that you can confidently convey your message to your audience, to ensure a successful presentation. One example that is crucial is to make sure to plan your presentation way ahead of time.With my group I could strongly agree that we took advantage of the time and did exactly that. Another big crucial example for presentation is to be prepared of the audience having any questions and being ready to answer any question they might throw at you. Although it was a class presentation there was really no questions asked but it really doesn't hurt to practice now so you could have already have that skill mastered when presenting. In conclusion I give my group 2 a whooping 10/10 for the amazing presentation we put together. I also wanna give a huge shout out to Fernando for being our manager or captain in this presentation and just guiding us to all the right steps. 

in the future when you have an important business job or to be honest any job business related collaboration and teamwork are more then essential for success. It is important to have a good relationship with your group to not only make it easier to present but to also get your message across more clearly. Its always better to present in a group rather then by yourself in my opinion because if the group sees your struggle with something they can help you and make you better at that specific skill. the way i see it two minds are greater then one. Although there are many benefits on working with a team presentation, there also could be some challenges along the way. For example some team members may have some sort of disagreement on a certain topic and may choose to do some things differently along the way. The team may just have to come to a compromise and figure out a solution or idea that works for both of the members. Team presentation are also good for meeting new people and making new friends. This helps people get out of their comfort zone and pretty much force them to interact with new people. As we continue through out the semester in this class I strongly believe that we will become excellent presenters and became strong public speakers. 

Group 3 and 4. Now both of these groups really stole the show. Although they had more time to prepare for the presentation they really took advantage of the opportunity and did not disappoint. Part of the reason why I am happy for group 3 is because they had a member that their second language was English and she really gave it her all and surprised the whole class with her confidence. Group 3 main focus was about delivering a speech to an audience and really getting your message across. When presenting it is super important to notice whether or not the audience knows what exactly you're talking about. No one wants to sit there and listen to a boring and meaningless presentation let alone a presentation that no one knows what you're talking about. Group 4 in my opinion was very engaging. they were quick and straight to the point. Keeping the audience entertain and awake they didn't really have much words and it was mostly pictures which made it very entertaining to look at. I honestly was very satisfied by their presentation and felt like I learned some interesting points. I would give group 3 a 8/10 as well as group 4 a 9/10. 

I also wanted to add one more thing about our group. I just wanted say that although one of our members Joshua could not present on the presentation day due to him being sick. he really made up for it on the last day making it an unforgettable presentation. The whole class was impressed by the way he presented himself and the his presentation. You could tell he had the up most confidence that day giving us all the important details and just giving us the big picture. He even was asking the audience questions which I did not see much groups do. His presentation was hands down the most impressive out of all them. In conclusion all the presentation were on their A game with very little errors and with up most confidence. All of the groups presented very interesting facts and details making it extremely helpful for the next presentation we do in the future. I would say the only thing that really stood out to me in regards to errors is just being more confident when you're up there presenting and trying not to look down at your notes as much. you have to convince the audience that you truly know what your talking about even iff you don't you should at least try to give the illusion that you do know. As a result I am beyond proud of every single group that presented. Thank You
