Presentation Reflection


Presenters:

·         Omar Mohammad

·         Yousef Ahmed

·         Rashed

Topic: Fencing



Rashed started the presentation by introducing their topic and the points they were going to present. He gave a good description of the three different types of fencing. His voice was very clear. His body language was good. He was moving his hands in a good manner while explaining some rules of the game. He looked to the listeners in the eye. He didn’t stare at the ceiling. He used some Arabic words which was a disadvantage to him since the presentation was in English.  He brought actual clothes of fencing and that was what l liked the most about their presentation. I wish I could bring some fireworks and fire them in the classroom. That would have been fascinating. Omar’s part was giving details for each type. For example, he gave rich details of the different swords of each type. He paused a lot while looking for some words that he wanted to say and sometimes the listeners helped him with that. To me he seemed very hasty to finish and nervous. Yousef gave a brief history of fencing like where and when it started. The slides of Yousef’s part were pictureless. He was just reading from them. There were some spelling mistakes in their slides. At the end they thanked the listeners for listening and answered their questions. Overall, the presentation was good and useful and I enjoyed it.

Meeting Reflection

Venue: Research & Innovation Centre
Date: Sunday 18th March
Group members:
Chair: Saleh Mohammed
Minutes taker: Abdullah Ahmed
Participant: Abdulaziz Saeed
Meeting Title: Experimental International College
Saleh started the meeting at 9:30am by introducing each one of us. He specified the topics that we were going to discuss. Regardless of Saleh fluency he was a good example of a chairman. He talked about each topic separately. After each topic he gave the participant and the secretary the opportunity to express their points of view. Abdulaziz participated in each topic by sharing some of his own ideas, saying the advantages and the disadvantages if there were any, of each topic. Abdulaziz performed well, but I believe he could have done better. Abdulla was the minutes taker, so he didn’t speak so much and it wasn’t actually his job. He took notes for every point that we discussed. Unfortunately he missed a few details because they were discussing a little bit fast relatively to his speed of writing. Overall, they all performed well, and the meeting was good and useful.
