EX Class Day 4: To Boldly Go Where No Group Has Gone Before

So Monday was the first group's presentation.  As much as I dislike being the second group to go, I'm even happier that I wasn't in this first group.  Not that they weren't great people or anything, but it was just that I didn't want to go in not knowing what to expect.  So as I entered into class, knowing that my group would be next, I looked at the presentation in 2 ways. In one way, I was a normal student trying to get his opinion into the discussion.  In another, I was a student looking to see how I could improve on their presentation when it came time for my own group to go.  I got a lot from the discussion, including some ideas that I used in my own slides for the second half of the text.  But I also got some interesting ideas on how to format the presentation.  For example, the first group hardly used their slides, so I made sure that we got the slides out of the way first.  They also used a part from the book as a skit, which was fine, but I wanted our group to do something a little different.  So instead of using the book, we expanded upon what the book had already said.  Overall, they did a great job, and I was really surprised at how easy it looked to stand up their and give the presentation.  Of course, I had no idea the prep work was gonna be so difficult.
