Our group is meeting one last time the week to put the finishing touches on the EAR and the Creative Media project. It has been an absolute joy to work with these ladies on the group projects for this class. Thank you @kendallcook101@madisonbreed and @cassidi_gooch! #tech3323
I wrote the introduction portion of the internal proposal and external analytical report and it was fairly easy to do since I followed the five moves listed in Chapter 10! #tech3323
Practicing and rehearsing, in my opinion, is the most important step in the preparation process for a presention because it helps you feel more comfortable giving the presentation! I have always been taught that practice makes perfect! #tech3323
I love that the idea of an introduction in a presentation is to be upfront and tell the audience what you’re going to tell them in the rest of the presentation! I’m a very straightforward person and like getting to the point so I like the reasoning behind introductions. #tech3323
Since I want to go into the medical field, which is a team environment, I will most likely be doing a lot of informal presentations at meetings and when briefing the staff about patients! #tech3323
Chapter 10 says that maintaining a purpose statement will help organizing information and drafting alnalytical reports easier. When my group nd I meet tomorrow, we are going to come up with a purpose statement! #tech3323
Learning that audiences now expect perfect and polished presentations because of how easy it is to use a compute these days is intimidating! 😳 I still have a hard time using PowerPoint and need to update myself on how to work a computer properly... #tech3323
@madisonbreed I have taken research methods, as well, and it also reminded me of this class! They are very similar. Both of them tremendously helped grow my writing abilities. #tech3323
@kendallcook101 Our group is definitely a good time! I think we all work really well together and are very respectful of each other’s thoughts and opinions! I am excited to see what grade we get on our Internal Proposal because I know we all put a lot of effort into it.
I agree with the textbook in Chapter 3 when it talks gives suggestions on how to run effective meetings. Encouraging participation is so huge because I have been to club meetings that are not interactive and they were really boring! #tech3323
I have never had to design a culturally deep document before. I feel like it would be really hard and take a lot of background research in order to familiarize myself with the language and symbols of a different culture! #tech3323
Alignment, one of the Five Principles of Design, is so important in a document! Thank goodness my computer automatically aligns pictures/images and words on the page or else the reader might be a little more confused by my design. #tech3323
I agree with Chapter 8 when it talks about the first draft of a proposal is always difficult. For me, that concept translates over into any paper I have to write! It is always hard to get my creative juices flowing once I initially start writing. #tech3323
I never realized how much white space is used, not only in formal documents, but also in magazines! I would much rather read a magazine with lots of white space than one that is full of text on text on text, with no grouping. #tech3323
I am a very organized person and I can see why proposals that are well organized are more competitive compared to ones that are more plain looking! #tech3323
