The library experience for me created a mixture of feelings. Of course I was nervous about presenting something in front of a group of strangers in an unfamiliar location but I figured that it would prove to be a good experience... provided that our group was ready.
Working as a group was a difficult and often nerve-wracking experience. We seemed to have a hard time coming to agree on just about everything; something you kind of expect. I for one became very frustrated because I couldn't seem to get an answer out of one group member in particular. It seemed to take forever to figure out what we would in fact do for this project and even longer to actually do it.
Our group's library presentation I felt could have gone a lot smoother. Going first is always difficult but this time in particular it seemed worse than usual. Our one group member forgot to print out a copy of the dog brochure which caused our slideshow to become choppy and awkward, especially at the end as we then had to display her work on screen right in the middle. This was very frustrating as we had agreed and planned on how our presentation would go and who would say and show what when. Apart from the awkward silence at the end, I felt that we conveyed our ideas well. We received very few comments from the audience at the end of all the presentations so I think that it would have been beneficial to have had questions answered at the end of each presentation.
I think that everyone else did a great job and explained their projects beautifully. Just about every group seemed very well prepared and in many cases presented better in front of the community than in the classroom.
