| Hand-written/drawn Powerpoint Slide |

| Rubric for Peer/Self-Evaluation of 1-min Presentation
Context:
The fourth assignment for ENG 2003 spanned over two tutorial
weeks. The first tutorial we were to design a Powerpoint slide that we would
use the following week to teach a concept to our fellow tutorial peers. It was
required to be hand-drawn, and done and handed in within the tutorial time. We
were allowed to take a picture to use to rehearse on our own time.
Reflection
_______________
My topic of choice was naturally something I was interested
in so I would not have to do research and could just write down points based on
my own knowledge. I am passionate about combat sports, mixed martial arts
(MMA), so that is what my presentation was about. I believe it went well due to my knowledge
and interest in the subject. I also chose this topic to find out if anyone in
my tutorial shared a similar passion, and was successful in doing so. I made a
new friend just based on this presentation as Sean O’Brien was also an MMA fan.
I posted the peer evaluation sheet above as although we were
not required to evaluate ourselves, I’d like to use it to reflect. If I were to
evaluate my own presentation I would say the best thing I did was #1, maintaining eye contact and facial
expressions as I knew my information well. The worst thing would have to be #8
as although my volume was fine, my clarity may have been a bit off due to my habit
of mispronouncing words when nervous.
I enjoyed this experience as it another opportunity to work
on something I wanted to since the beginning of this course as stated in
Assignment #1 reflection, oral presentations. The more presentations I do, the
more comfortable I am getting talking in front of an audience. This skill is
crucial in not only the real world, but also the next few years of my
engineering education as engineers need to be able to communicate their
proposals and technical reports very well, to be able to secure contracts with
companies looking for consultation.
