5.1.19 Practicing Presentations

Rationale: Since the presentations for the symposium will be occurring on Friday, it was found to be helpful to practice presenting our presentations to the class and receiving feedback from one another.

Procedure:

• The first 30 minutes of the class were spent completing surveys and responding to online assignments.
• Each group presented and the remaining groups gave feedback about the presentations. Questions were asked first about content, and later about theme and aesthetic features. After one group would go, the next would go until the rotation was complete.

Results:

• Presentation was successfully practiced and changes to the presentation were made to reflect these alterations.

Conclusions:

• This lab ended the year-long class that was the 2018-19 SEA Phages lab cohort. Many great moments were had and a lot of laboratory growth was made. It was an honor and such a fun time interacting with each person of the class and it will be remembered as a highlight of freshman year. Thank you to everyone who reads this for being such a great person, classmate, Teaching Assistant, or Primary Investigator.

Next Steps: Present on Friday!
