Communication Skills - Presentation Feedback

• How well was your team organised? did you work effectively as a group

I believe our team was not prepared at all. We did not rehearse anything that we were going to present, and  this definatly showed immensly in the performance.But on the upside every group member showed up the group meeting before the presentation.
Our team work was satisfactory but fairly well in the process period, but some team members were'nt fully focused. During the presentation a team member came to anothers aid, which showed alot of support and quick thinking. The characteristics that brought our group down was there was not any leadership, co - ordination or communication, and there was a slight sense of incompetance and lack of attention aswell.

to improve on these points the team would have to communicate much better, not just in group meetings but during class. rehearsal is a very important factor to include in improvements, it helps the presentation flow seamless. Our group could also improve on the knowledge of compatibility, and show more interest not just in subjects already known but in new subjects also.

• how well were various tasks distributed within the group?
• did you effectively allocate tasks and engage in constructive dialogue in group meetings?
• did all members contribute to the task?

Our group worked very well when it came to deciding on a final idea to present. most members of the group did their research extremly well, they knew very clearly what they wanted to achieve within  a powerpoint. Whereas other members didn't do as  much on the technical side of things. This was left up to the more experienced members.

During group meetings, there was not enough time allocated to gather a substantial amount of work. So the presentation had to rely on the little information gathered, I think if we would have shared findings alot better and listened to what the experienced members had to say, our presentation would not have lacked contents.

Also the one group meeting we had was left to the last minute so we couldnt distribute tasks to highlight our personal skills. There were some moments during our group meeting that i considered pointless because not all  memebrs of the group were not concentrating.

• What research did you carry out, relating to the content of the presentation?

The group together didnt research anything, but we all did our research individually  and effectively then brought our findings together.

I personally researched the home sites of the biggest 3D animation company's, software packages and the origin of 3D animation. i also storyboarded these ideas for a powerpoint.
But because we didnt have that much time or communicate that well, these findings were left to go on a seperate indivdual powerpoint presentation.

• Did you make effective use of visual aids? If not how could this be improved?

Our group did not use powerpoint as effectively as it could be used. Our presentation was very plain and simple with the use of basic images, words and fonts.

there were no transistions, or follow through so the presentation broke down half way through. we could have done this much better if we would have rehearsed a few times and tried to sync what we were saying with the images. if we would have done this, there would have been no need to read off the screen or from our written notes, because they would have been memorised.

this could also have been improved by the experieced members giving tutorials on powerpoint, showing the way a powerpoint could be fully expressed. There was not enough Information included, we just stuck on one idea and did not take it further.
