Feedback

General Feedback: We must be clear during a presentation. Do not mumble as we are presenting in front of            a crowd and to make them understand you. We also need to find info regarding to the things we are going to present and plan our presentation beforehand. Besides that, we are encourage to ask questions during classes to make us understand better.

Specific Feedback: Mr. Vinod said that I need to elaborate more on the info's of my pictures. I'm also lacking confidence during the presentation as I lost my words for a few seconds.

Reflection

After I saw and listened to everyone's presentation, I felt that I'm too nervous and was not confident enough to present in front of a crowd. I need to stay calm and boost up my confidence so that I will be able to present better in the future. Besides, I need to improve my vocabulary and prepare before presentations so that I will not repeat the same mistakes and lost for words once again.
