FEEDBACK & REFLECTIONS

Flip 1

Overall the lecturers were quite happy with our presentation, and said we did well for our first topic. I noticed while researching for the topic that although the topic states 9 directives, several websites showed different numbers of directives, but they were more or less the same information worded differently or repeated.

Flip 2

The lecturers were happy with this presentation as well, and gave us a few general pointers on how to make a presentation more interesting. This topic was relatively easy to research for as it was quite self-explanatory.

Flip 3

The lecturers praised our presentation and its content, and appreciated what we included at the end. They also gave us some pointers on body language during presentations. Overall I think this was the most fun topic for me to present so far.

Flip 4 & 5

We ran into a few snags during this presentation but overall the lecturers were happy with the content and gave us some tips on how to be ready for presentations. I experimented with Canva when working on this presentation and I have to say I'm not a fan of it.
