I am going to have to use my last classes lecture for my presentation, because I am in the library without headphones. I just listened to a presentation in my Buisiness Statistics class. The presentation was about a type of statistic testing that is very complex. She was trying to explain the way that it is done without a calculator. She only had 50 minutes to present this information and for the particular audience or at least for me it was definately not enough time to get in depth about it. As you can imagine the presentation was your standard just like most classes involving math. She attempted to explain everything as she wrote it down. I really don't like that the presentation was only an hour long because you have to take notes through out the whole thing and it makes it much harder to pay close attention. In most classes I can get away with just going over my notes and I will understand everything but on this particular lecture I am still kind of lost.
She tried to make sure that no one had any questions as all teachers do, but sometimes you know you have a question but you don't really know what it is. When your class is only 50 minutes long you are going to definately have questions on something this complex. Through out the majority of the lecture she used a projector to illistrate the math that needed to be done. I liek that she does the work along with us but I do feel that if we had time to do some on our own and ask questions I would have a much better understanding of the subject matter.
She did run her presentation through very smoothly, she had no technical dificulties or anything that stopped the flow of the presentation at all. She handled questions very well and you can tell that she is really good at what she does. She can understand exactly what people are asking and what they are wandering through out her presentation. She does a good job at addressing every part of the presentation.
