This marks the end of our TWC course, with the last session and 5 group presentations. To make things slightly different from other weeks, we started class at 8! This was to accommodate the group which could not present the previous week. Based on how they looked, it seemed like the person who was hospitalized had recovered :)
The 5 presentations for this week covered diverse topics:
- Electronic Books
- Nuclear Power
- Technology and Weather Control
- 3D Film Technology
- Genetic Engineering
All the presentations went quite well. It seemed like the additional week of preparation was good for them. :) Having settled much of their content, there was nothing much to comment. The only thing which I could think of, was that the nuclear power group failed to address the point that nuclear power is ONLY cheap now because one of the predominant sources of enriched uranium is decommissioned soviet nukes! I think they will mention it in their website as I passed them the link after class.
Overall, to wrap up the course, I will give this class an 8.

Session 11 (week 12): Group Presentations I
This week's lesson was the start of the presentations of the different group websites. After finishing up with our individual papers to submit on Sunday night, most people were understandably tired when they arrived in class on Monday morning. Rather unfortunately, one of the group members from the first presenting group fell sick and was hospitalized over the weekend. I do hope he/she is much better now. While schoolwork is important, health should never be neglected for work purposes.
After ranting above, it is time to get to the presentations for this week. As there were only 3 groups, we managed to finish class early :) That definitely put a smile on many faces :)
The first presentation was on Technology & Beauty. The group weaved in a skit into their presentation, and tried their best to engage the audience. Although the content and the videos were quite interesting, but their presentation did not succeed in getting the audience involved. It would be a good website to visit for information though.
The second presentation was on Technology & Cyber Crime. I really liked their opening scene where they pretended to be hackers to set the scene for their website :) Their information and overall flow was quite good as well.
The last presentation was our group, on water. It can be accessed here at http://www.wix.com/twcwater/home. I thought we did a decent job :)
Overall, nothing much else to comment on the presentations. I would give the session a 7.
