Class Presentations Part 2

In communication class we have been working on research projects. Monday half of the class presented theirs, today the other half of the class was scheduled to present. I was on the list for today. I was unable to give my presentation due to my computer crashing. I was not smart and did not save it last night or as I worked on it, I just kept the window open. As I was trying to start the computer and get my project I realized I was not going to be able to access it today. I thought about what our teacher said about having to adapt when there is a problem with a presentation. I tried to think about what I would do if I was in a different setting and this happened. I considered just using books on body modification and pictures of my own personal body modifications and making a quick outline of the information I knew. If I did that I would still be missing half of the information I wanted to share.
I will give my presentation on Monday and on that day I will blog about how I think mine went. This is the second post on being being an audience member. I feel like today's presentations were wonderful. Two of the presenters did not use power point, I thought their presentations were amazing. The ability to be so engaged with the audience and to know their information without cues and to present it as well as they did made their presentations great. All the presentations gave so much detailed information and were so put together. I did love how personal the presenters were. The two power point presentations were very personal to the presenters and I thought they did an amazing job.
Unless I get my computer working again I will have to start my project all over again. If I have to do that I will not use any of the things I learned from the past two days of presenters. I feel that will be unfair to the rest of the class. I will keep it as close to the first presentation I completed.
