Presentation Evaluation

Our team is team number one and we presented about commerce in Second Life. The presentation started out with Dean, the team captain, informing the audience about the major corporations investing into the Second Life market. Then after Dean, I presented. I was very nervous and I think that is why I did a poor job on my aspect of the presentation. I did have well documented information, but I was unprepared to present. The reason I was unprepared is because I usually practice before a presentation, but I did not for this presentation. I spoke about an interview with the chief financial accountant.

There were a lot of positive things about our presentation that overcame the negative parts of the presentation. The positives were, our group did bring the proper information. Our group also used all of the time for the presentation. One negative about our presentation is that we did not ask a lot of question to help the class discussion. Another negative is not everybody was ready to present, because we did not meet as a group before the presentation. Since we were the first group to present, our group really did not know what to expect.

Overall, for the first group to go we did well. For the next group presentation however, our group needs to be better prepared. We can accomplish this by meeting outside of class before the presentation. We can also come up with specific topics about the general subject we are talking about in order to get organized. There was definitely a high point of our presentation, which was at the beginning. As the presentation went on the energy of the presentation seemed to go down, which is some thing our group needs to work on.
