6th Week Reflective Journal
The topic discussed today, the 08th of December was, again, “Presentation, Approaching and Assessment.”
This week too, we were asked to group into teams of two and make Power Point Presentations to present in front of the whole class. Except this time, we were only given forty minutes to prepare slides and rehearse what we were going to say. We were given around six topics to choose from and our team chose to do a presentation on “Conspiracy theory”. The conspiracy theory we chose to speak about was the 9/11 incident.

The skills we focused more on, today, was time management skills and team building skills. “Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities.” (Retrieved December 2011 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_management) Today, we were given less time than last...
