My presentation is here:

Actually, this recording is not the one recorded during the class.
I had this re-recorded in Sylvan's office, so I was more relaxed than when I presented in front of the class.
So, I am going to write the self analysis not about this recording but about the presentation I did in the class.
First of all, the biggest problem was that the slide show didn't work well. It didn't go to the next slides automatically. So I had to click every time.
Because of this, I was looking down at the computer screen and thus, I couldn't take much eye contact with the audience.
Also, I think I was not standing straight because I was bending over the computer to click it.
I think I should have checked slide show carefully before hand.
Visuals: I could have found more suitable visuals for some slides.
For example, I couldn't find good picture for the slide about the problems gays have in their everyday life, so I just put the picture of street, and kitchen.
Another problem was that the pie-chart I had made didn't appear on the screen. It was a pity.
Voice: I think my voice was big enough. However, I stuck for words some times, saying "uh...".
So, I think I need more practice.
Overall, it was very good training for me. Since there was time limit of 20seconds, I tried to talk briefly and clearly than usual, and I think I have improved in that aspect.
At last, I noticed that all those technology problem was because I made presentation in different software at home. Next time, I wouldn't make the same mistake. It was a good experience.

I think the topic you chose for your Pecha Kucha was really interesting. It it true that you don't really hear about the gay/lesbian issue in Japan much.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be critical of your PK, I would have to say that make sure that your slides are prepared. You had some technical difficulties during the presentation.
Its been a while since the presentation so I don't really remember much about the actual presentation... sorry.
By listening to the presentation from the link, I can say that you did say "um" and "ah" a lot at the beginning. Also you had some time left before the next slide came. However, as the presentation went along, you seemed to have been able to get a good pace and it flowed nicely.
Those are like the only 2 things I could find that you may need to imiprove. So, I thought that it was overall a good presentation.
Thanks a lot Madoka!
ReplyDeleteI'll improve those points.
Thanks for your comment, and also for lots of work you did for our presentation!
It was fun to work with you!
