This weeks presentations were a fun change of focus for a week. It was interesting to hear the variety of topics covered in each review. The content of each book seemed quite different so it made for an interesting class session. I took away a lot of useful information from each presentation.
One of the most useful pieces I will keep in the forefront of my mind for all future presentations was Anhs book on 'Presentation Zen'. She did a great job of explaining the content of the book. On the other hand, she also illustrated the difficulties she experienced making her presentation more of a story than a slide show. I like that she was honest and real with her presentation. It was a very memorable and relevant presentation.
The other presentations were great as well. I think Shairee's video's were extremely touching. Some of the other books that were presented on seemed a little more 'meaty' than others. Ten minutes seems like a long time to speak, but when you are covering an entire book ten minutes flies. I think everyone did a great job at summarizing what they though were important points in the time given. Someone stated that they wished there were a few more health examples in the presentations. I agree with this statement. It would be a strong addition to the next round of presentations.
I am looking forward to our group presentations this week! It will be fun to hear what our classmates have discovered from their target populations. I will close with a funny video I found this week. It is a little racy, but I found it hilarious. This ad aired in Africa. It has a unique approach.
Enjoy!
