Group Presentation: Gender Equality

This presentation was well organised, with a fair amount of research evident but limited citations (just what was perceived as societal norms). Perhaps my perceptions of Jordan were wrong (I travelled there for a whole day and restricted my visit to tourist sites) however I was under the assumption that it was a much freer country in terms of women’s rights than other surrounding Arab states. The examples and pictures to support their ideas was evident and they seemed to keep within the time limit, almost perfectly. 6/8

Studying homosexual rights was an interesting direction to take, but one that seemed effective and which, when well presented can remain on the right topic. Good use of video. 6/8

Suitable volume and good body manner with clear articulation. Could have been a little more enthusiastic with the information. One of the presenters particularly spoke with interest on homosexual rights, which was good as it perhaps suggested a particular invested interest in the topic. 5/6

All members contributed equally and seemed to be knowledgable within their own particular fields and on what they contributed to the assignment. 2/3.
