My blogging group had the presentation on the CELC Project on 22 March. I feel that our team, on a whole, did very well. We were able to effectively present our problem and solutions, and satisfactorily answered most of the questions in the Q&A round. However, there is always room for improvement and this is what I noticed about myself.
The first thing that shouted at me in the video of our presentation was that I should have given more chance to my group-mates to give the answers in the Q&A round. Whenever I knew the answer to a question, I would step up, thinking that my group-mates might not know it. What I should have done, instead, was to let the others present their views, and then add on to their answers if required.
I also realised that some of my points weren't as well received as I had anticipated. For instance, not many found my hip-hop dance video funny. A good strategy here would have been practicing the presentation in front of group-mates and noticing their response, which would give a gauge of how well I'm able to carry my point across.
Despite these glitches, I’m satisfied with my presentation. I was energetic and had a personal tone with which the audience could relate, as remarked by someone in the audience later.
As for our team, not only was our end product good, the journey to that was a pleasant one. I can passionately say that I had an enjoyable time working with my group-mates. The disagreements were solved in the most rational way possible, everyone was considerate to others and we all were more than willing to help each other out. We started out as a group and ended up a a team. This experience is what matters the most to me!
