I thought the PowerPoint presentations were a lot more fun than I anticipated. Going into the project, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do, but after completing the presentation, I feel more sure about what I want to do with my life after college than ever before. The concept of sports medicine, specifically overuse injury in young athletes, hadn't really been brought to my attention until this presentation was due. I was encouraged to seek out the specifics of my career choice, which turned out to be very eye opening so I really enjoyed that aspect of the presentation. I also feel like after practicing, through trial and error, to get the presentation exactly the way I wanted, I learned a lot about slide animation (how much is too much?!), and how little things like color and background can add to the presentation.
Personally, my two favorite presentations were those by Katie Garrett and Luke Tibbits. Yes, I am biased because they're both good friends, but I did legitimately enjoy both of their presentations. With Katie's presentation, I felt like the topic "Malaria No More" was not only crucial for everyone to hear, but presented in way so as to appeal to everyone in the room as well. She was very successful at making a complicated topic seem simplistic d easy to handle with only a little help. On the other hand, I enjoyed Luke's presentation
because it brought some life to the class. His PowerPoint was educational in talking about chemical warfare in the past, but also kept this serious topic light hearted with his use of zombies and such later in the powerpoint. Overall, I though both of these presentations were great!
Great Job Lauren!
