Group Summary Blog (presentations)

The group presentations were very good. Some groups were more prepared than others but I still learned a lot. I learned about how black scholars have transformed so many different fields such as: medicine, film, dance, music, film, and protest. The group that discussed film and other fine arts was good. I had no idea that scholars and blacks had transformed so much within that field. I enjoyed their presentation and how they made a mini- video of them talking about the different things that were changed and then switched back to a regular presentation. The use of technology was integrated very well.  The group that discussed protest was very enlightening and taught me a lot about the protests that have happened here at Howard, old and current. However, they went over on time, which prevented the last group from presenting that day. They were also not prepared as they all had Mac’s and the Mac’s could not connect to the projector. This made it very difficult to see the videos and the slides they had. The final group to present had the same problem. They could not connect to the projector so again everyone had trouble viewing the PowerPoint. In addition the film group, and the protest group and the final group had problems with reading directly off the screens. They all read word for word. Overall though, the presentations were good and very informational. I learned something after each presentation.

            My group was good. We presented well, and each of us had our information memorized and separate information that could not be memorized put on the slides. We didn’t read much off of the slides. We were fully prepared and gave a solid presentation
