Yesterday, with a lead up of stress and panic we presented our presentation. The most panicing thought was whether or not as a group we had completed the task properly and given that this was the first week of presentations we didn’t really have anything with which to go by.

We spent the hour between the lecture and class rehearsing again in an empty classroom. Justina, another classmate came and watched us and provided really great feedback which gave us more time to chop things out and for me to slow down my reading (I speed up when nervous).

Our presentation went well, I had a lot to rush through at the end after being given the 2 minutes warning so again probably should of cut down even more but thankfully had enough time to show my video which I think was a nice way to end. Despite all the difficulties we had in meeting together I think we pulled it off well and worked together as a team effectively.

The assignment taught us more about how far outreaching the dimensions of global terrorism are and how many facets of society are effected by them. In this way I believe that our original team goals were reached. I was also thankful that all the group members pulled their weight and so didn’t have to worry about the whole part of our group assignment table regarding what to do if group members weren’t cooperating.

I enjoyed working with my group, and I enjoyed doing an assignment on something I’m actually interested in.
