Reflection:
Pro:
I think I did some great job for my presentation this time. I made some great improvements from my last presentation, which lacked text. This time, I inserted much more text, while at the same time, kept the text concise to prevent the audience from being distracted. My voice was loud and clear, and I knew my topic thoroughly. My presentation included a lot of information the textbook did not have, which is an evidence for my research, such as a primary source from The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Furthermore, this time, I included “in-text citation” which I lacked last time. Last, I included the thesis which I lacked on my last presentation, a clear conclusion which I lacked last time, and an agenda which Mr. Manning complemented me for having last time. Overall, I made some great improvement this time!
Con:
I think my presentation this time has some shortcomings, too. First, I did not explain the idea of Laissez Faire well, especially in the part of the “natural balance of economy.” I am the right person to because I am taking economic class this semester, which facilitates my understanding of the Laissez Faire: the factors in an economy and how it would balance itself. Unfortunately, since I did not look at my presentation from the point of view of the audience, most who have never taken economics, I hastily explained the concepts of invisible hand, which left most people confused. I should have used visuals to explain it, which was the way Mr. Vincent did when he taught us. Second, I believe my presentation may have been badly paced, in which I spent a too short amount of time to explain the concepts of the economy. I should have explained it more slowly and carefully, instead of being redundant in the way I explained it, which doesn’t help facilitate the audience’s understanding of invisible hand because they are hearing the same thing. The above are the points for me to improve.
Set Goal:
In my next presentation, my goal is to maintain the great qualities of my presentation mentioned in the “con” section while improving my shortcomings of redundancy and hastiness when I explain hard concepts. Furthermore, I believe that I should put more visuals into the presentation to help convey my message in a non-verbal and more interesting way. My ultimate goal is to produce a presentation that is: Well argued, well supported with evidence, include great primary source examples, well made slides with the right amount of texts and visuals, able to explain complex ideas in a concise and simple manner, and well structured. I have done a great job and improved a lot from my last presentation, but there is still space for improvement
