Week 11

This week we did our presentation and I'm quite happy with it because everything went fine, just as we predicted. Even though I'm quite happy with it but there are things we can do to improve it and make it a better presentation. If we have had more time I think we would make it more professional and more eye catching. I know our presentation wasn't the most interesting one therefore if we can make it more eye catching it may be more interesting. Since we are limited in time with only 10 minutes, we tried to keep it on time and make it as short as possible. It was hard to cut everything down because everything in the article seems important but we did not have the space to include it.

I find this a good experience and will help me improve my presentation skills. Overall I think this module assessment quite interesting because I have never done a Wiki before and I did learned a lot of new google skills. I find this assessment better than having an exam because I find it very difficult to understand, it really did help with all the presentations and discussions done in class. I think I would have had a problem if this module was based on exam only, because it is very complicated.

Week 10

This week some of the groups did their presentations and every single one seems quite professional, very different to what we used to do in class with the transparent papers. I can see that all the groups put a lot of effort in putting up a presentation. There was one presentation that really caught my eyes, it was really fancy and professional. I really liked that one, even though it might have been a bit too much but its something I haven't seen before. Looking at the presentations, I now have some idea how we can do ours and really don't need to panic about it.

Since now we have already started to work on our presentation, we chose to use the google presentation and I find it very useful because all the members can just edit it online and we can save time. I never used google presentation before and never knew that it existed. I have learned something new and very useful. Even though it is not as good as powerpoint but all the essential things are up there for us to create a presentation.

We have been communicating and we have decided to meet up on Thursday to do a run through and I think it will go well.

Week 9

We did not have a lecture this week but we still met up and discussed about out Wiki and presentation. Since we got out topic on The "reasonable doubt" criterion in jury decision making, we received some extra help because on one of our readings, it is a bit complicated therefore needed some clarification. I'm quite happy with my group because everyone showed up and cooperated.

In order to be fair we decided to write down the tasks on a piece of paper and randomly pick out what each person will do. Everyone now know what they are supposed to do and we will communicate through internet and try to get everything done on time. My aim is to finish all my work before Christmas :)

Week 8

This week we did a revision section, we discussed everything we have learned so far and what was most interesting. For me personally I think framing effect was the most interesting because I got to know more in depth doing the Wiki on it. I still find it interesting with the disease problem and find it quite easy to understand.

Having the first Wiki being done, I find it quite amazing how we can develop a Wiki page, I have never thought of creating one and now we have. We got to know our second Wiki topic and we are doing it on The "reasonable doubt" criterion in jury and decision making. Even though this was our second choice I think it will still be interesting and since I have some kind of idea on jury decision making because of having a lecture on it in Forensic psychology. I think I will learn more and something new because it will also be about reasonable doubt which we have not touched upon it yet. During the end of the class we assigned each other some work, just to look over the papers mentioned in the module booklet and decide what we can do to split up the work. Since there are no formal lecture next week, we still decided to meet up and talk about the presentation and Wiki. Hopefully next week we will get everything clear and ready to work!
