ON 1ST OF JUNE 2018 WE DID OUR FIRST GROUP PRESENTATION FOR THERMODYNAMICS.THE GIVEN TOPIC IS SECOND LAW ASPECTS IN DAILY LIFE.SO IN THIS CASE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE SECOND LAW AND ALSO THE APPLICATION RELATED TO THE SECOND LAW FOR EXAMPLE LIKE AIR CONDITIONER.MY GROUP CONSIST OF 5 MEMBERS.WE DIVIDE THE TASK EQUALLY IN ORDER TO DO THE PRESENTATION SUCCESSFULLY.WE HAVE LEARNT ALOT FROM THE PRESENTATION FOR EXAMPLE LIKE COMMITMENT AMONG GROUP MEMBERS,TEAM WORK,RESPONSIBILITY OF A TEAM LEADER,PUNCTUALITY AND SO ON.BELOW I ATTACHED SOME OF THE PICTURES TAKEN DURING THE PRESENTATION AND I ALSO ATTACHED OUR SLIDES :
- I found that making this academic presentation to be a very challenging experience. This was mainly down to working with a group of people that I don't know.Despite how challenging I thought the experience was I also found that working on, and presenting the presentation to be a rewarding experience, this was because I was able use theories I had learned and apply them to a specific area.
- All the theories that I used during my presentation had been taught in the lecture, nevertheless I found that by doing my own personal reading and internet research it helped me fully understand these theories and then be able to apply them during the presentation.
- During my presentation I felt that my presentation skills could have been better, this was maybe because it was the first presentation I had to do at university for this thermodynamics subject.
- I felt this presentation helped me because I was able to improve on my weakness which I had which was my presentation skills and this allowed me to improve this in a later presentation I did for another module. So reflecting on my experience of this presentation allowed me to improve 'the capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning'.
- This experience also showed that I was able to complete my research and gather information and deliver it in a presentation which was a new thing for me. At first I didn't feel confidence that I would be able to deliver a good piece of work, but by working with others it has shown me that if you all work together on a piece of work it doesn't seem as daunting and it will make the experience more rewarding.
