This week has been filled with presentations for me. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I think it is 100% better than tests/finals. With all of these presentations, I have been very stressed. There’s just a lot happening in general, but back to what we did in FYS this week.
I presented on Tuesday, and the night before I was worried that I didn’t quite have enough slides or if it would take up the right amount of time. I am glad to say that I had an almost perfect time. I think I was about 10 seconds off, and I consider that pretty good. I am glad that I added a few more things on the slide the night before, or I don’t think I would have made the time requirement. I have always had anxiety about presentations and presenting in general, but having the presentation due before the essay helped me.
Since I presented on Tuesday for the rest of the week I got to watch other presentations. I thought everyone’s presentations were very unique and kept me interested. However I have one drawback, I don’t like doing the TAG feedback. I know it can be very helpful, but at the same time, I feel like it takes away from a person’s presentation. I also thought it became more stressful while presenting because everyone was typing away on their computers about your presentation. But that is just me, it may help some people. Anyways, our year is coming to a close and I am grateful for this class, and I am excited for the spring semester!
