Sergio Monteagudo-Post 1

     In this post I will write about the experience I had after watching and listening group 1(which presented chapter number 3), group 2(which presented chapter number 9), and my teammates of group 3(which presented chapter number 10). The reference book that the class had to use to present is known as Comm6 Speech Communication from Deanna D. Sellnow, Kathleen, Verderber, Rudolph F. Verderber in which everyone had to cooperate by choosing their own part of the chapter or share it together to bring a summarized presentation for the audience to observe.

     The first group worked on presenting the chapter known as Intercultural Communication. They talked about the effect and interaction of different cultures between people. The students that presented tried to explain and give examples of each and every theme that was introduced throughout the chapter with the culture and communication, the cultural knowledge, the difference each one gets to have, the develop of intercultural communication with each other. Their way to describe was going at a slow pace so they can bring enough information from their project. Something that impacted me(if I am not mistaking the group) was about a student that could not go to the school to present it, but prepared a video of him presenting it so he receives the credit even if the student were not able to appear that day in person.

     The second group talked about the theme of Communicating in Groups. Their presenting was about groups and their overwhelming difference that each one can have. They talked about each and every type of group it was shown in the chapter while also giving some examples about them, some of them had a funny example for using TV series that most had watched. Later, they kept talking about the characteristics of the healthy groups and how they are good, all the stages of the development in groups, and the conflict that they are able to bring. What mostly surprised me was the use of reference and examples they brought to their presentation while at the same time their presenting effect was "being biased to the right" from starting mid presentation to the end of it so to speak and it is understandable since no one is perfect nor the same.

     Last but not least, the third group, which I am in there, presented about the Group Leadership and Problem Solving. Our chapter was mostly like a guide of improving groups. It started with the types of roles that a leadership can bring while at the same time the student that presented that part gave several examples and some personal experience with and amazing speech, acting almost like a carry for the team. While the presentation continued some the team were unfortunately missing the class that they so others in the team decided to give it a try and present it for them so they receive some of the credit. During my part, I tried my best to present it the best way as I can, but has always, I struggle with my nervousness and feel a cut-off in blank sometimes. At least I personally feel that I did something fine and I've been improving bit by bit. Otherwise, I think that my team did great presenting.

     Presenting a project is something that almost all students had experienced at least once in their life. In my case it is not the first time that I have done one like I said. Most of them presented with a nice use of slides and decent speech while others might have been a bit nervous while presenting it, but that is something common. Communication has become something that needs to be more noticeable nowadays since technology has been tying us up to a different direction, and is not always a positive one. That is why experiencing, watching, and listening are thing that need to be used more often when communicating to others.

      The initial group to present discussed chapter 3, which is centered on intercultural communication. This chapter delved into the dynamics of communication between diverse cultures, emphasizing how subtle distinctions in beliefs and traditions can pose challenges but are not insurmountable. It highlighted the potential difficulties, including anxiety, that may arise during intercultural communication but reassured readers that such feelings are normal and shouldn't be feared. The chapter also addressed barriers like the belief in cultural superiority and the lack of understanding about others' ways of life.      Our classmates executed an excellent presentation, ensuring a clear comprehension of the material. They skillfully navigated the complexities of communicating with individuals from different cultures, acknowledging the potential hurdles both parties might encounter. While there was a hint of initial nervousness at the beginning of the pres...

BLOG POST #2

                                                                         BLOG POST #2       For this activity, presentation, assignment, or whatever you want to call it, I had the pleasure of experiencing an engaging and informative session. All three groups managed to captivate my attention and provide valuable insights on their respective topics. Each group brought something unique to the table, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on their performances. First, let's talk about Group 1, which also happens to be my group. I must say, I'm proud of our collective effort. We delivered a presentation that was not only efficient but also engaging and educational. It's not every day that a group project goes so smoothly, and I genuinely believe that this was one was better than the last presenta...

Sergio Monteagudo - Post 2

     In post number two, I will write about the experience I had after watching, listening, and participating on the presentations. The overall theme was about happiness and each group had a subtopic to show. Group 1 presented Self Care, Group 2 presented Pay It Forward, and Group 3 presented Good Eating. Everyone had to discuss and search about their selecting and make it overall related with happiness, showing their benefits, their disadvantages, examples, and their relations.     Group 1 gave us a speech with a vast majority of ways to self-care, which is to maintain their health physically and mentally stable. The showing of setting goals for someone to act are inspiring and helpful to consider the ways to act. They also put several advises on the issues of dealing with the sleep and its issues. I also learned that self care is not always a thing that must rely only with the use of money, instead, there are ways to not have to waste your earning for your own...
