Group Presentations Reflection (Steeve)

I had fun listening to our fellow groups' presentations these past few weeks. Their research into film, race, culture, and the like really helped me see things in a different light. I specifically liked how each group presented differently. The group right after mine, for example, used voice overs and pictures to present their question and conclusions in an interesting way. The Q&A section was also interesting. We discussed Tyler Perry's influence and his work and we discussed the effects of Freshman Seminar on our first year at Howard University.

We did have some problems, however. Each week we had presentations, there was always a problem with technology. The week my group presented, we had to wait for a projector before we could start. When we did receive the projector, we had to spend time trying to get it to work. The following weeks, the other groups didn't get to use a projector. The groups ended up presenting their PowerPoint presentations on their laptop or simply leaving it alone and simply discuss their findings.

Other than the projector, I only really had a problem with how some groups were going over in time. In the second week of presentations, only 1 group presented. In 50 minutes of class, only one group managed to present and they spent almost 20 minutes on it. My group stuck to the rubric's time designation. We spent a little less than 8 minutes presenting and left another 2 minutes to questions and answers. My group surprisingly worked very well together. Our presentation ended up being very well put together, and everyone presented their parts clearly and effectively.
