Panel Discussion

Eulene Albert F. Geronimo SPEECOM EG Reflection publisher for Panel password To be h 1st, we felt a little disappointed when Ms. Jeanne purpura told us minutes before our venire word of honor that the projector was non available for use. In addition, we in any case sort of panicked because just close half of what we would deliver that day was precisely based and could only be delivered in effect by our rolepoint presentation. The graphs and statistics we cause researched about were accommodate in that visual aid the earreach dexterity fill enjoyed and unders besidesd the argueion to a greater extent than if the projector was functioning well.All the same, we still managed to break down through. In fact, in my opinion, we go for achieved our intent of informing the earshot about meandering(a) thermonu sink drive, its advantages, disadvantages and consequences to the health and welfargon of the society. However, no plank discussion is perfect. In fact, no speec h is flaw slight every iodine has his/her own strengths and feeblenesses. And in this paper, I am going to discuss the strong and weak points of our panel discussion. permit me begin with the Speaker typefaces in the title of respect for panel discussion.I admit that one of the weak spots of our concourse was the lack of rapture in our facial expressions and voice projection. We, the panel members, likewise violateed to establish resonance with one a nonher. However, in my opinion, my groupmates and I tried our outflank to be as knowledgeable as possible with regards to our assigned topic. Without a doubt, I ignore tell that we looked prepared and credible, non just because we are engineering students and are expected to unfeignedly have whatsoever grasp of these kind of topics but because we have really researched and internalized the issue in depth.We also wore appropriate formal attire and in additionk our several(prenominal) roles as different kinds of engineers seriously. As a result of these, we had some convincing power towards the reference that I felt their excitement to tilten and learn more about our subject matter. They plane asked a smattering of questions and this serves as proof that they were really into our discussion. On the other hand, I confess that the advert of our discussion was not that organized. The ideas did not know in a smooth menstruate and I hold, this was one of the consequences of not having a visual aid.In effect, the panel discussion lacked spontaneity. However, we should have adjusted with regards to that aspect for the mind that technological difficulties are inevitable and a life-threatening speaker should have seen that and have prepared for that beforehand. In the rubric, we scored relatively high in the Message Content part. I weigh it is because our arguments are supported with adequate inference and wellresearched facts and information. We failed to cite our references though, for the re ason that our list of references was embedded in our powerpoint presentation.Lastly, based on the feedback we have received from our blockmates, I deliberate that our group has answered the questions of the audience credibly and convincingly. side by side(p) aspect would be the organization. Thanks to our moderator, Mr. Doolittle, who started and cease our panel discussion with a bang. On the other side of the coin, we failed to use transitions and the expand we discussed were not that logically organized, like what I said in one of the paragraphs above. In other words, a smooth merge of ideas was not observed.Apologies. In the aspect of transmission, we also scored relatively high. There was a wide-ranging intonation and a conversational shadow while we delivered the information. There was also a controlled speed delivery we went not too fast but not too slow. In simpler words, we went at a operate pace, so as not to belt along or lose the eagerness of the audience. When it comes to sign(a) aspects of speech delivery, our group did not fail to apply what we have larn. I notice some simple but telling gestures while watching our video.Even the effortless movements of detainment while discussing could help in transmission system what we are trying to express or say. Our group also let offed the technicalities and the mechanics of nuclear power in laymans terms so as to be understood by our blockmates who are not that familiar with our subject matter. For this reason, I think it is valid to say that we use clear language to benefit everyone. Still, we fell ambush to using fillers like uhms and ahs and unavoidable pauses. Sorry for those. On the superb side, there was no code- electric switch in our discussion.In linguistics,code-switchingis the switching between two or more languages, or language varieties, in the context of use of a single conversation. In our discussion, we really tried our very best to explain the topic to our audience throu gh he use of only one language, English. This is for the reason that English will be used when we communicate with our fellow engineers and with other professionals less than five years from now. Last would be the audience rapport. At the beginning of the discussion, our moderator officially acknowledged the presence of the audience, especially of Ms.Jeanne. Also, our group made it a point to include audience participation in our discussion. In truth, according to them, we have addressed and answered their questions and clarifications properly. Also, a big thank you to our moderator, Mr. Doolittle, who did well in maintaining the balance of our discussion and for adding some wag when the topic becomes serious and very technical without him, the audience might have been tire with the endless scientific terms cosmos bombarded to them. With this, the audience paid attention and rapport with them was established.Whats more, the fact that our topic, Mobile thermonuclear Drive, was n ew, interesting, appealing and environment-related adds to the list of our strengths of our panel discussion. Conversely, one weak point in this aspect would be the failure of establishing and maintaining eye concussion with the audience. To sum up, for the reason that we received more good comments than bad ones from our blockmates, I can say that our panel discussion was not much of a disaster take down though we did not have a powerpoint presentation to aid us.Just like the foregoing activity, the Informative Speech, I also learned lots of lessons in this Panel Discussion activity. First, be prepared just in case a technical difficulty comes in and ruins your original plan. Always have plan B. Second, rapport is very natural when it comes to almost everything. But to be specific, audience rapport in speeches is a essential because without it, your whole speech would be atrophied because no one will heed to you. Third, know your topic from the heart. Who knows?You could be asked with give of questions and you should be able to answer if not all, most of them. Plus, five years from now, we might be working in a company and when it comes to project or trade proposals, we should master every detail, may it be big or small, so as to gain the credibility and trust of other, even higher professionals. Lastly, there must be a logical organization of the dilate or the parts of your speech so as not to confuse your audience and for them to continue listening with eagerness and safe attention.
