SPC 2608 GROUP 1

       In my experience, working in groups has never been easy. It is hard to have to trust your peers with a portion of your grade. Hesitation to be in groups grew heavy in me this semester, whilst it’s being my last. I because fearful of those who might care less about the outcome because they might not have as much to lose. I’ve learned how important communication is in everything one does, whether it be group assignments, work, or relationships. Instead of being so easily scared off by the fact we had to work in groups for this class, I learned to embrace what students usually don’t see at first glance. I had the opportunity to watch others learn from me and me them, learning new study tactics and so forth. To be transparent I am still fearful of working in groups because I am indeed a very controlling person and like things done a certain way at a certain time, it’s a growing process. Yet I am open to the idea that this might make me a better student after all....

  Ashley Dominguez Reflection blog       To begin with, I must admit that I am a quite timid person. Speaking honestly, I was anxious to engage in a speech class because public speaking is one of my insecurities. I haven't always been a fan of public announcements, presentations, or just public speech in general. However, I had to create a presentation and deliver it in front of the class as part of my second speaking class assignment. Which I didn't particularly enjoy; the very concept of it made me feel uneasy and anxious. Without a doubt, I don't like it. Having to chat to my students and having to turn on my camera made me incredibly anxious. Although some could argue that since the class is online rather than in person, where it is tougher, it shouldn't be that bad, I still get anxious. My peers were equally cooperative and understanding when the assignment was given. It was simpler because my peers and I would collaborate if anyone had any queries or ...

       Preparing a presentation can be a small hassle when attempting to construct it. Applying some essential keys to the concept of your message, will result with the desired objective for your audience. Within many minds of people, public speaking can be an obstacle, feeling overwhelmed by the audience’s attention towards your every move. Before going up on the stage, I tell myself, “I’m a rockstar without heavy metal and this platform will be mine for the moment to deliver a message, like a popular song”. Preparing a presentation, requires you to be to perform three major areas of “Roots of Rhetoric”. “Invention”, “Organization” and “Style”. Use these as way to always keep it simple and always relay your message.             Invention is the goal and direction of what the presentation’s focal point is. You may be grasping the attention of the audience to either inform or persuade with opinions, facts, and s...

   My experience for the second assignment For the second-class assignment we were required to develop a presentation pertaining to chapters one through four in introduction to public speaking. The fact that I had to collaborate with my classmates in a group environment made this task for class difficult. I've always found it challenging to collaborate with folks I haven't known for a long time.im usually not a person that works with others well because I’m a little bit of what people like to call a control freak. Sometimes I’m even a procrastinator but it’s just because I work well under pressure. I believed that everyone knew their roles and that there was little to no uncertainty over the assignment itself, despite the fact that it was relatively difficult for many of us to keep clear communication. There were times when I felt that since everything was so well presented, my colleagues and I did not need to speak about what the assignment entailed and how we were suppo...

  Adrian Hernandez Reflection on Class Presentation My Experience Creating And Working With My Group Members       For our second class assignment, I was at first hesitant to work alongside my peers which I did not know. I personally have always preferred to work individually to ensure my assignments are properly completed and to avoid a group member not being able to complete their portion of the work. However, my experience working in group one studying chapters 1-4 from our class book. I would say it was pretty organized for having twelve members of my group divide the work for our google doc slide by having each student create their own slide then on presentation day each student would present the slide they completed. My only criticism of this experience of working with such a large group for one PowerPoint presentation would be the lack of communication at times. For instance, there were occasions when I would try to contact my peers in reference to a ques...

  Blogging for reflection October 23, 2022     Bryan Rojo's reflection on the Class presentation  My experience      In my second class assignment for introduction to public speaking, I was assigned to create a presentation regarding chapters one through four. This class assignment was challenging because I had to work with my peers in a group setting. Working with people that I have not known for a substantial amount of time has always been difficult for me to do. Even though it was somewhat challenging for a lot of us, I felt that everyone knew their parts and there was little to no confusion regarding the assignment itself. There were moments when I did not feel that my peers and I needed to communicate about what the assignment consisted of and how we had to present it since everything was explained so well that it became blatantly obvious what we were expected to do. Something else I found to be a small struggle in th...

  How I Felt about the Presentation      This is the second SPC class I have taken while attending Miami Dade College. The first one I took was Introduction to Communication, it was fairly simple just write speeches and read them to your classmates. But in this course which is Introduction to Public Speaking I have noticed that it's more involved with group activities and working together with your classmates. After already establishing that this class was going to be mainly focused on working with groups, I was worried because of my past experience with working in groups. I have always done better working by myself than in a group because I've always felt that it's so hard to communicate what the other person's part is supposed to be especially if the group, I am working with we don't know each other at all. That has been an issue ever since I started MDC Live courses. Since we are not in a classroom, and we don't interact the same way with our fellow classmate...
