Peer assessment #1

Peer assessment for group presentation: week 11, group 2, Puerto Rico

Content and organization
Individually, the first two presenters deserved a good mark as their presenatations were well-researched, logical and provided in-depth information about Puerto Rico, covering a range of topics from music and religion to history and language. But the last presenter was all over the place, and only repeated what the first two said. So overall, it would probably average out as satisfactory – satisfactory 5/8

Audiovisual Media/Other presentation material
Good – like most groups, they used a powerpoint presentation and their slides summarised and illustrated what they were saying quite well. THe only problem was that their slides weren’t timed very well. Only a few sentences accompanied a slide and there was no time for the audience to absorb what was on the slide – good 6/8

Presentation skills
Good vocal skills but quite fast and the presentation had too many statistics in an already overly informative speech, so audience engagement was not very high. Again, the group was let down by the last presenter, whose lack of preparation showed in her lack of confidence and it was really quite painful to watch – satisfactory 4/8

Contributions of members
It didn’t seem so much that two members dominated as the last member didn’t put in the same amount of work, time and preparation as the other two and this really let down the group. It almost seemed like she didn’t even look at her presentation before the date – unsatisfactory 0/3
