Blog for Chapter 3, 9, and 10 Presentation.

              Hello, this blog will be going over our first presentation that my class did for our speech class. All of the students in our class were split into three groups, so that we may all cover a different chapter. Group one went over chapter three Intercultural Communication, group two went over chapter nine Communicating in groups, and last my group went over chapter ten Group leadership and problem solving.  I was really happy that my chapter was about leadership and problem solving because I just got out of the military and leadership plays a very important roll in your military service. Overall, I was pleased with assignment, and I did not find it to be very difficult for our first presentation, hopefully the rest of the semester is the same.

As stated above group one presented first and they covered chapter three. They spoke about culture and communication, dominant cultures, co-cultures, and cultural identity, how cultures differ, and developing intercultural communication competence. I think group one did a great job and set a good standard for the rest of the class. Also, in my opinion their presentation was the one that I thought about the most after all the other groups presented. My favorite part was when one of their group members spoke about how western product manufacturers care more about creed in comparison to eastern manufactures that care more about the products quality.

             Group two at first had some technical difficulties and because of this they were not able to present the same day as the rest of the class. Nonetheless they were assigned to go over chapter nine. Their presentation went over the nature and types of groups, characteristics of healthy groups, stages of group development, and conflicts in groups. Unfortunately, I also experienced some technical difficulties that day so I was not able to see the whole presentation but what I enjoyed the most was that the presentation was full of pictures and they had a lot of cool designs. Overall, I found their presentation to be very resourceful.

Last but not least my group went over chapter ten. In our presentation we went over leadership, effective meetings, systematic problem solving, communicating group solutions, and evaluating group effectiveness. I was meant to go first for our group, but I went to the restroom and to my surprise my group was moved up to present after group one. This however was not a problem because my group members were able to inform me and I made it back to present right after our first member went. I want to say for a group of individuals who for the most part have never spoken to each other, we all came together seamlessly and worked together in harmony to put together our presentation. Overall, I think our presentation was good with lots of pictures and our group members were knowledgeable in their role of our presentation.

In conclusion, I think all the groups did a great job with their presentations, and we all did a great job with our public specking which I feel is the most important part of this class. I look forward to the rest of the semester and to work with the rest of my group.

Throughout the time I was to make My Experience Learning about Mental Health Disabilities By Jennifer Fernandez  my portion of the disabilities presentation I was able to make a lot of interesting and useful discoveries. My topic of research was anxiety and depression. I feel like my generation has a lot of anxiety and depression growing up and it's very important for everyone to be informed on how to catch signs of these disabilities and how to help both others and yourself. I'm very glad to have been a part of this presentation to raise awareness for disabilities especially my particular subgroup focused on psychological disabilities. My group consisted of both Amanda and Katie who focused on post-traumatic stress disorders, psychosis, and eating disorders to name a few.   I was able to find out the risks of undiagnosed depression and anxiety which in extreme cases can lead to the loss of a loved one. It's very important to be able to notice signs

Chapter 3, 9, & 10 Presentation Blog

Hello, this blog is going to be focusing on our first presentation in SPC1017. I will basically be giving feedback on my classmate’s presentations and provide some other details about the whole process. To begin, our class was split into three groups and each was assigned a chapter. Each person had to do at least three slides and include a few words with some pictures and graphs that went along with their assigned section. I was nervous in the beginning as this is my first semester in MDC and I have never really presented in front of or worked with people I am not familiar with. However, my nerves went away as soon as I realized that everyone had respect for each other and everyone was very committed to the assignment. Group 1 was assigned chapter 3, Intercultural Communication. They spoke about dominant cultures, co-cultures, and cultural identity and how they all interrelate with each other. They were the first group to present and I was very impressed with their presentation. They

Hey guys welcome back to my blog! Today's topic will be covering the  presentations that took place in SPC1017 this past week. This project/speech was more time consuming and elaborate than the previous chapter 3,9,10 presentations. In my opinion, it was also more interesting and much more useful in the long wrong. Once again for this project we were split up in groups and luckily, we were able to remain in our previous groups for better comfort. The three groups received different topics with group 1 focusing on Mobility, spinal and head disabilities. Group 2 focused on hearing and visual disabilities, and Group 3 did invisible, cognitive, and psychological disabilities. The project components and requirements were to make a PowerPoint and present a speech going over the subtopics, turning in a poster and a brochure.    To start off I would like to say, I think every group did an outstanding job. I surely learned about disabilities, circumstances and treatments I had never heard b
