Jose Vega Theme Project Reflection

     Our second presentation of the semester was a theme presentation and we had to talk about disabilities. As for my group (group 3), we decided to do further research on deaf/hard of hearing and specific learning disabilities, that being dyslexia and comprehensive reading disorder. At first, it was confusing as to what we had to do exactly. However, as a group, we met through blackboard and came up with a game plan to complete this assignment given to us. Our group consisted of around thirteen class members and we divided the work evenly. In addition, I want to let whoever is reading this know that the work was divided evenly and by choice. Nobody was forced to do a topic they did not want to do. Furthermore, we created google slides and made sure everyone was able to edit and write in order to start on our presentation. Some of us did interviews with close relatives who had these disabilities and I would say it motivated us to search more about these topics. Whenever we had doubts or concerns we made them clear to our group and we were all quick to answer any questions or to clarify any concerns for our other classmates. Knowing that this presentation was going to be published publicly for other students at Miami Dade to see extremely motivated us to make sure that our topic was precise and accurate. We took our time researching different sites and even looking up experiences from people with these disabilities. Although this was a time-consuming project, I must admit that I did enjoy taking my time on it and helping my group. We took notes on how the other two groups presented and wanted to make sure that what we were presenting could be taught across and gathered by others who are unfamiliar with this topic. We included videos in our presentations that explain in detail what we were presenting and we also included graphs and data charts to compare these disabilities to the years prior. As a group, I am proud of the work that we did because we presented it in a professional way. I hope that our presentation is used in the future as a guide or to whoever may wish to learn more about deaf/hard of hearing and specific learning disabilities. I am also extremely proud of my class and the other groups because they presented in a professional manner and I must say that I did learn a lot from what they showed. Being in Professor Sherri's class has been an honor to enroll in. I have learned how to work as a group and communicate with others in a kindly fashion even when my group members don't share the same ideas as I do. This class has taught me how to be a great team member to others and it helped me come out of my comfort zone. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for also being a good sport and helping each other as a team.

Kevin Baez presentation

I want to start off by saying that every group did a amazing job prestenting their topics.I was suprised that every group had enough timed to present that day. Group one was a interesting topic, they spoke about the fundamental of intercultural communication. This topic was already amazing because it speaks about Communication between different cultures, a perfect example is us hispanics speaking Spanish to each other. Group one did a great job presenting fundamental of intercultural communication perfect amount of slides and right amount of information on each slide and the videos gave a great understanding of their topic. Group two had to focus on the importance of communication as a group. this topic was perfect because they are already working in a group so it makes it easier for them to write about. communication within a group is very important because if you dont communicate in the group nothing will get done correctly. Group two did a great job presenting this topic nothing...

  I found this class very interesting. On the first day of class, the professor already gave us work to do. She separated us into three groups to do a presentation about the chapters of the book. In the beginning, I thought it was not going to be easy because normally people do not have communication skills and with everything online, some people were going to have bad internet or would not be able to completely express themselves through the computer. My group found ways so everybody could communicate. First, we created a What's app group chat where most of the people from the group could join. Our group leader made some group chat calls, people like it that way and they found a way to get the work done. I couldn't join the call since I was at work. People talked the whole through the chat to make sure everybody was doing their work. Once I got out of work, I started working on my part, my partner which I was supposed to work with. Was not in the group chat, I had to text her ...

Rachel's Theme Project 2

I wanted to first say thank you to my wonderful classmates and professor Sinkoff. Group 1 talked about Visual and physical impairments. I really learned a lot about the presentation they did as a whole. Each member of the group addressed a different kind of impairment with detailed information, photographs, and videos. That day I was so sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep but when they were presenting, I was wide awake and was engaging to they information they gave. The slides also made me say “wow they did good”. I learned so much about Blurred vision, epilepsy, loss of peripheral vision, etc. they did amazing, and I want to thank them for choosing that topic and giving information about it. Group 2’s presentation was interesting and well planned out. Like I said I learned something new every time we’re doing a theme presentation even if this was our second one, but I learned a lot and I wanted to thank them for sharing. I myself didn’t know how autism and traumatic brain injury wer...
