Pecha Kucha

My first strength was that I spoke loudly and clearly, my second strength was that I knew my information and was confident. As for two things I’d like to change, the first is the “smoothness” of my speech. I wish that I had sounded more put together, because I feel that my stumbling took away from my presentation. The second thing I wish I could change was my hand placement. I wish that I hadn’t kept my hands clasped for nearly the whole presentation and that I had talked with them a little less.

Personally, I’ve always liked group presentations. I think it takes a lot of the pressure off, and I think it’s easier to transition between ideas when you have someone else helping you do so. I think that my group members and I did a really nice job with this presentation as a whole.

I liked and disliked the Pecha Kucha format. I felt pressure during the presentation and my first side disappeared faster than I expected, and it threw me off a little bit. So while I like to have some pressure, I felt that the Pecha Kucha had a little too much. That being said, I also liked that I couldn’t go off on a tangent because I had to stick to what I needed to say. Also, usually for other presentations, I never know if I’m in the time limit, so it was a nice way to gauge whether or not I was on track.

During the question/answer session, my group members and I answered the questions to the best of our ability. As for my goals, I wasn’t nervous at all to present, so I think I’ve accomplished/achieved that goal. As for my other goal, which was to improve my skills, I still feel that I need to work on those.
