Today was our last big group lecture at Filton college. We spoke about the module hand book and looked though it looking at what we need to do between now and the 21st of April, when we have to present our research project. We also got a timetable for the next nine weeks saying were we should for the morning lessons and what should be done for each week. We also have a group discussion on what good and bad presentations we have seen. We came up with alot of good and bad point for example should speak clearly and make eye contact and you should read from your notes. This task was really useful it well help us prepare for our presentations.
