16. Our Presentation

On 29th March, we met at the University Center, and made our last checkings as a Black Team.
Than we went to Fasshane and waited for the lecture hour. When we got into class, Sonja was waiting for us. She was little bit sad because the other lecture's presentation group didn't appeared. And than we started to do our presentation. I think it was OK. But by the feedbacks we understood that we must improve some points of our presentation. For example everybody finds our historical context very long. And most of the people liked our graphs. Here is my feedback from audience. Is it ok to share my feedbacks at here?
Please notice me if it is disturbing.

Sonja's comments:
Positive points

• Team introduced and roles indicated on outline
• Images referenced
• Very nice interactive plot summary
  
• Questions in red; good, relevant, thought-provoking questions throughout
  
• Historical context provided: Freud, Sophocles
• Lots of audience interaction throughout: e.g. gap fills for audience to guess
• Very good teamwork
• Enthusiastic
• Extras, such as "Use of language"
• Brain diagram, Larry's "equation", Mother mind map, all very visual and very nice
  
• Lots of analysis of the text throughout

Points to improve

• Try not to read from cards, make eye contact and always use your own words
• Perhaps the thesis should have referred to the Oedipus Complex?
• Pronunciation of "Oedipus"... :)
  
• The summary of the Sophocles play was far longer than the summary for your story...and affected overall timing
  
• Make sure you follow up on audience responses with body language, facial expressions, words...
• Did your audience know what "ego" and "libido" meant?
  
• Check grammar and spelling on slides very carefully
• No need to read out final summary to us after eliciting it; we can read this silently
  
• Make sure your references are in proper APA format
• Remember the outline I gave you? Themes should be central, and you can examine character, etc. through the themes of identity

Positive points from students:
-Plot was well prepared . (Blank filling)
-Tables
-Coloured questions
-Attention catching activities
-Image referencing
-Funny Plot
-"Tender Words" :)
-Left-right brain
-The equation
-Use of language bölümünde karakterleri incelemek güzel.
-Left-right graphics were good.
-Adjective finding is fun.
-Connection with media is cool.
Points to improve from students:
-Questions must be showed on their time.
-Plot must be more short and blanks can be more well-knowned words.
-Historical Context: a little too much information
-Question before the summary of the text
-Thesis statement was too late
-Oedipus Complex Question was too hard and maybe unnecessary.
-No need to repeat(reread) the whole plot.
