Clarity of the oral presentation:

Each member presented a lengthy speech but I was a bit lost in all the information provided. I feel if they were able to focus on the key points and did not just regurgitate everything they had researched it would have been better and easier to follow. Some of the group members were more clear and concise about what they were talking about but the other members I felt were just reading off their pieces of paper. It was well rehearsed and it had a flow to the presentation.

Clarity of the written presentation:

The prezi presentation was clear and concise with only the key points of the presentation on the slides. Unfortunately I felt I was a bit lost in the presentation as the slides weren’t being controlled according to what was being said. It felt as if this part was unrehearsed with all the team members.

Distinctiveness and specificity of the examples:

The examples used were very useful and helped understand the topics.

Referencing:

Harvard style referencing was clearly used in their presentation and on their wiki.

The conceptual context:

I feel they have just started to find their way around their project. As they are brand new to everything they have been learning it has taken a while for them to research and understand everything they are doing. I feel now they have a better grasp on what is ahead and what needs to be done. They seem to be working well as a group and have very good communication skills as stated in their presentation.

The still images:

The images used I felt did not enhance their presentation. During the presentation I felt there were images lacking and the ones provided came from clip art and had no real meaning behind them. The video presentation was not utitlised to their advantage. The video was of them just talking and this could have just been done in a written format. I would have liked to see more of them dis assembling the bike and talking whilst showing what they were doing.

What information I learnt that will be beneficial to my project:

With my group we have not been communicating as much as I would like. After the presentation we have started using more ways in which we are able to get through to each other.
