Group presentation analysis 4/28

Group 1: Spencer, Melissa, Thai
Altered State of Legality
Some of the positives for this group was that they had good eye contact and strong clear voices when presenting. The negatives, however, were that I felt that while the slides were moving, it felt that they were moving too rushed, and that they couldv'e analyzed the charts more and explained on them. I didn't really have questions for their group.

Group 2: Dana, Thor, Ben, and JB
Show me the Money
Some of the positives for this group were that they were clear about what they were talking about and how they presented the info; Dana, Ben, and JB all knew their material well which was obvious by how confident they were; and Dana was super calm throughout the whole thing. The only negative I could find was that Thor should've done some more quick review about the topic so that he would have been more confident. The only question I had was that if NCAA athletes were to be paid, would a 5th string guy be paid the same as a starting lineup player, or no?

Group 3: Matt, Jose, Brett
Fast Food in America
The positives for this group were that they had a fun and interesting delivery of info , they were enthusiastic, and that their presentation involved interacting with the audience. The negatives were that they had intentional cussing, and they were a lot over the time limit. I didn't really have a question for this group.

 Reflection paper

My role in the group was researching the topic, finding sources that would support our stance on the issue of prostitution and how they reveal hypocrisies of our society, as well finding an interview source. As a group, we found struggles in coming together for meeting times because of our busy schedules, and trying to be on the same page as we are discussing ideas of what to put on the slides. However, we found it easy to come up with the format of our slideshow and how we wanted it to be presented. Individually, I found it somewhat difficult to find appropriate interviewees that would match the general public audience that we were going for, and trying to find sources that would match our  stance. As far as grades go, I feel that our group deserves a "B" to a "low A" because we put in a good amount of time into our work to a point where we deserve this grade, and that our points will support the arguement we are trying to make. Personally, I feel that I deserve the same grade , a "B" to a "low A" since I did a considerable amount of work and analysis into this presentation and found some nice sources to use, but didn't do all of the work since I had Saul and Brian to help with it.

Response Paper #2

Located in the music building, the music theatre has an exquisite inside appearance with a formal brown extravagant interior feel with a public building exterior. I decided to visit this place because there was a music performance held there and my music teacher was performing there. She offers extra credit if you attend one of these events and bring her back a program of the performance, which is a schedule of the event. The kinds of people who visit there are mostly people who are there to watch them play; usually its their family members or their significant other supporting them playing, or they could be like me and be there only for an assignment. People who live there are sacramento state students since there dorms are very nearby. While I was there, I watched the music performance and just listened, trying to understand the intricacy of each music piece and how it relates to what I'm currently learning. I saw how the orchestra worked together as a team and how each instrument complimented each other, along with the passion each musician had while performing.  Personally, I wouldn't go back to attend another performance for recreational motives because while I did find it interesting, it did take a while and I have other things I had to attend to. If it was for credit, then it would be a different story. If I were handed a ticket to anywhere in the world, It would either be to Philidelphia because I always wanted to climb up the rocky steps, or the great mall of asia in the Philippines beause I remember it being such a beautiful place and with it being right next to a beautiful beach, it's definitely a great place to visit.
