I am slightly nervous about how my presentation fared. I usually do not look at the slideshow during my presentation because I have my typed notes. However, during my prezi, I feel like I was looking at the projection the entire time. Perhaps it was from the fact that I was using prezi for the first time, and the animation distracted me. As for my information, I feel confident in the sources I have chosen concerning human experimentation, but would have liked to use my notes during the presentation (since they contained extra facts and examples).
The presentations so far have been very interesting. I thought Austin and Damien’s project was well done. Their exhibition of both sides of the argument concerning capital punishment kept the audience’s attention. I also enjoyed the fact that they smoothly transitioned from one counterargument to another. I recall Austin arguing against the death penalty, and Damien for it (I apologize if I’m wrong!). Between the two perspectives, I personally agree with Austin for most crime cases. In cases where a prisoner has committed atrocious crimes (in appalling numbers), and displays a lack of humanity and social connection, I agree with Damien. However, like Damien stated, the death penalty should be used rarely and only in response to the most heinous of crimes.
Hey, Megan! You have no reason to be nervous about how your presentation went. You did so good! I actually wrote about how your presentation was the best one so far in our class in my post. I hope that does not creep you out. Haha. But yes, your presentation was just about perfect. You made good eye contact. You knew your topic very well, making your thesis clear, and also addressing the counter argument. The prezi you put together, was very organized and easy to follow. You must have put a lot of time into your prezi, unless you are just really used to the program. I tried prezi for a second, but could not get used to it enough to use it, so, I just stuck to a plain, old powerpoint presentation. Anyways, you did a really awesome job on your presentation, and you should not worry about it. I just hope that mine turns out half as good as yours!
