Formal Presentation Report

Reflection on Salem’s presentation

Date: Wednesday 23thMay 2012

Venue: W007

Time: 1115

Topic: car accidents

In the beginning Salem introduced himself to the class, and he showed what he would talk about in a nice simple way.

His topic was the car accidents.

First he described what the car accident is, then he explained the main causes of car accidents; he added  nice pictures and clipart to make the subject clearer.

There wasn’t a lot of writing in the PowerPoint and this is good.

After that Salem talked about the car accidents in the UAE, and he presented information about the accidents in the UAE.

In the end he presented the solutions and he discussed the solutions with us, and I think he displayed good points.

Both body language and eye contact were excellent.

Overall: the presentation was nice and interesting.

New things I learnt:

More than 50% of the total deaths of citizens in the UAE are cased by the group of 18-35 years old people.

Location: W007

Subject: About Muslim inventors and what they invented

Presenter: Salem and Khaled

Introduction: Khaled started the presentation and he talked about their names, the presentation name and what they will show. Then Salem completed the rest of the slides perfectly and showed us a video which was a part of a movie related to their object.

What (new) did I learn? I learned new information about Muslim inventors such as their name, nationality and inventions.

Slides:  the color was good and appropriate with the pictures. Also slides were orderly with the sequence of events.

Body language: it was perfect. They used their hands to show the pictures and to explain for us the inventions. Also, they changed their position.

Eye contact: it was great. Their eyes were contacted with us. They saw all of the class and they moved their eyes.

Fielding questions: they covered all the questions nicely and they showed us the video to support their information.

Overall impression:  I like their presentation because it increases my knowledge about Muslim inventors and their inventions. Also, I learned some  presentation skills from them.

Reflection on meeting

Reflection on meeting

Venue: W007

Date: Wednesday 14th March

Present:

Yousef, H00234805, Chairman

Khaled, H00207564 , Secretary

Ameer Salem, H0023533, Participant

Yousef opened the meeting with a nice welcome to Hedley and talked about the agenda of solutions for the problem. He arranged the meeting class neatly one by one. The problem under discussion is students who live far away from college.

The first solution is to build another branch outside Abu Dhabi.  Ameer:  it’s an important and useful point like Zayed University and ADWC. Hedley didn’t agree because ADMC has space to expand.

Recommendations:

1.       Change the time to start the classes after the peak time.

2.       Collages provide transport (buses) for students.

3.       Increase number of online courses.

4.       Build dorm for students who want to stay in the campus.

5.       Let students organize the time for their classes.

In my opinion I think the best solution is let students organize the time for their classes.  It helps students to come to college at a better time for them. Also, they can choose the time of classes after peak time to avoid traffic jams. In this case the college is not responsible if students are late. The second solution is increase number of online courses. It will decrease the number of classes students have to take at college.

Problem: students live far away from college (ADMC)



Date and time of meeting: March 14, 2012 at 11:00 am



Venue: W007



Group members:

·Chair: Yousef

·Minute taker: Khalid

·Participant: Ameer

Venue preparation:

v Grouping of chairs round table.

Agenda:

1)    Build another branch outside Abu Dhabi

2) Change the time to start the classes after the peak time.

3) Give students who live far from ADMC more time for being late.

4) College provides transport (buses).

5) Increase number of online courses.

  Build another branch outside Abu Dhabi

Ameer said it’s important and useful like Zayed University and ADWC. They built another branch outside Abu Dhabi in Khalifa City.



Hedley thought that ADMC has space to expand and this solution will be in the future.



Yousef said this solution gives more chance to accept more students in the new branch outside Abu Dhabi.

   Change the time to start the classes after the peak time.

All Government departments and companies start at 8:00 am at the same time as the college.



Ameer said I leave my home at 7:00 am to reach the college at 8:00 am because I face heavy traffic on the way to the college. Also, sometimes there are accidents which impede traffic that make the student late.



Hedley agreed with this idea.

Give students who live far from ADMC more time for being late.

Hedley said I am not strict with the late in the morning classes. Ameer said I had an accident 3 days ago and I was half an hour late for the math class. Then I showed my teacher the paper for the accident but he marked me late.

College provides transport (buses).

Yousef said as you know all students have cars and make traffic jams. So the college should provide transport for the students. Hedley said do you think students will leave their cars and come by bus. Yousef said if I always come late I will come by bus, because the college will be responsible.

  Increase number of online courses.

Khaled said this is the important point in the problem. Increase number of online courses to help students to do some homework at home.



Hedley suggested the college could teach a part of this course online such as submit reflections and reports online because we are in HCT.
