Reports on final presentions

Date: 03.07.2012

Venue: T001

Time: 1530

Topic: Global Warming

Presenter: Mohd Shams

Again Mohd tended to read text from slides e.g. the introductory slide and the slide listing the reasons for global warming.

Some textual/grammatical infelicities e.g. global;warning & a umber of issues.

Content: rather anodyne; just the usual  list of dire warnings & horrendous consequences.

Mohd spoke loudly & quite clearly.

The fielding of quastions was rather vague & sketchy.

Slides lacked visual impact: few colourful pictures or informative charts.

Venue: T001

Time: 1545

Topic: Electricity

Presenter: Omar

Omar ran through the history of the development of electrical products, e.g. Thomas Edison's light bulb.

Slides: quite attractive & reasonably informative.

Dagrams of power system colourful & clear.

Evidence of some degree of critical thinking when discussing renewable energy e.g. solar energy is an attractive idea for some (sunny) countries like the UAE but is  costly & impractical at present.


Date: 04.07.2012

Venue: T001

Time: 1515

Presenter: Hasan

He spoke quite clearly & confidently, without reading from notes or chunks of prose from the slides.

Numerous apellung errors e.g. constenpiole  & assosiated & erratic capitalisation e.g. stoker & hungarians.

Slides: quite colourful & informative but error-strewn & not as well-prepared as they could have been.
