Peer assessment #2

Peer assessment for group presentation: week 9, group 1, sport

Am publishing this a bit late...

Content & organization:
There was plenty of information and it was clear this group had done their research, however since the presentation required us to “explore the international dimensions” (which I guess is pretty open to interpretation, but still) I feel that the information wasn’t entirely relevant. Jay, for example, basically gave the history of cricket and while this was interesting and the point was to demonstrate the multicultural aspects of the sport, it just seemed like a history of cricket in India and a history of cricket in Australia. The other presenters had a similar problem - satisfactory 5/8

Audiovisual media/other presentation material:
The groups used a powerpoint presentation with photos, which wasn’t particularly exciting, but it was simple and effective without being boring. The photos were great, they either illustrated the presenter’s points beautifully or provided extra information. Sometimes presenters underestimate the power of selecting the right images, but this group did well - good 7/8

Presentation skills:
While their presenting skills weren’t noticeably bad, they weren’t exceptional either. The second presenter was a bit quiet, but other than that the presenters did well and showed no sign of nervousness, even though afterwards they all admitted they had been extremely nervous - good 6/8

Contributions of members:
Each member was equally involved, presented for the same amount of time and none seemed to dominate. Overall quality was consistent, demonstrating good team co-operation - good 3/3
