The Final Version
The Final Version
They volunteered to introduce themselves in class on April 21, 2006.
What do you think of their body language? I think they look very good with
good posture and lots of eye contact.
These rankings are based on students' peer evaluation sheets, and they
are not necessarily
evaluated the same way by the instructor of this class. Yet, presentations
are not only for the
teacher but also for your audience. And these rankings show how well these
people
"communicated" with their audience in their speeches. Congratulations!!! I hope many of you
will appear in these rankings.
SPEECH #2 "SHOW AND TELL" (June 5, 2006)
1. Ishikawa (Average Score = 23.2 out of 25.0)
2. Kouga (22.8)
3. Nakazato (22.3)
4. Kuroda (22.1)
5. Kuriyama (22.1)
When you look at your speech in the video, look at these people's
presentations too! You can learn a lot from good presentations.

4. Kuriyama (31.67)
5. Matsuda (31.43)
We have a new winner of the DVD, Mr. Kouga. Congratulations! Yet, note
that the difference in the scores for the top five presentations is
very small (i.e., 0.74). The class average, on the other hand, was 29.02.
The video of Speech #3 will be available again at Building #3 from Friday.
Check not only your own presentation but also these good ones.
Overall, your physical message was very good, but many of you still
need to work A LOT on your story message. The next presentation is the
rehearsal of Speech #4 "Final Presentation" in which all three messages
(physical, story, and visual) will be important!
