Journal Entry #2

The easy part about this Oral presentation has been pretty much everything, the only thing I would say that has been difficult is just not being able to work on it in class. Everyone has different schedules and my commute to school is about a 45 minute to an hour drive, so it’s not really practical for me to come here everyday. So we have been just communicating through email which isn’t hard, but it would just be a little easier to work on it all together in class. In the past I have had oral presentations in high school. I don’t like giving oral presentations because I don’t think I’m a good public speaker. I would rather not have a oral presentation assignment, I don’t really like them. Our group is working really well together and everyone is contributing to the assignment equally.

Journal Entry #1

I’m not really into the whole peer review thing, but the way we did it online was a lot easier than the usual trading papers with people. I do feel like I received helpful feedback on paper to help me improve it. As far as me giving feedback to other people I hope I gave them helpful feedback to help them with their papers, but I’m usually not that good at critiquing. The changes I made to my paper were that I went back through and elaborated more on topics I mentioned in my paper. I did already have a thesis, topic sentences, and a conclusion in my paper before the peer review process. I  have already completed my final and made the changes I needed to make to my paper
