Capstone night went very well for me. I think my presentation was better than my in class one due to the inclusion of visuals, and because I was more comfortable with the presentation. The volunteers were helpful, they asked good questions and gave good constructive criticisms. The other presenters also presented well, but theirs were more casually presented than mine.
I thought my reading skills were excellent. For most of my sources, I was able to determine relevancy and pull out facts through skimming.
My skills as a researcher were good. My sources were all valid and I did not plagiarize. My note taking was not great. most of my information never left the computer and I did not use the annotation feature of diigo.
As a writer, my skills were so-so. My voice was good, but I feel that I summarized too much. My analyzing wasn’t very good considering the complexity of some of my topics, but my citations and works cited were good.
My media was decent. I did not include it at first, but added it later. It was somewhat effective, but was mostly just to provide background.
My presentation was excellent. I spoke louder than I normally would, and projected well. I struck a good balance between looking at notes and eye contact, and I didn’t have any filler.
