Week 10...

This week we delivered out group presentations for Unit 1. Jackie (my fellow learner, not the old tutor) and I had developed our slides independently and sent them by email to Halah, who added them to her slides and brought the whole document to the session.



Halah presented her slides first, then myself and finally Jackie. Our tutor had provided everyone in the group with peer assessment forms with which we could note the things we liked or disliked about each other's presentations. Our presentation ran far over the designated 20 minutes (almost double!), despite each of us attempting to plan out the time it would take to cover each of the assessment criteria. I honestly could not say how long my section of the presentation took as it seemed to be over very quickly. In hindsight, rather than just guessing how long it would take me to cover the assessment criteria (and thinking "it'll be alright on the night") I should have actually practiced it beforehand.

All things considered, after reviewing the feedback from my peer assessment forms I think it went pretty well. My feelings that my personal experience evidence was strong seems mostly to be reflected in the comments from my peers. I was particularly happy to read some positive comments about how I delivered my part of the presentation, such as being clear and maintaining good eye-contact as I wasn't sure if I had succeeded with this at the time.

I certainly feel that I have learned a lot from this unit and intend to use the experience and the feedback I have received towards my microteach session (when I finally decide what I am going to do!).
