My Assessment of My Energy Presentation Video

Earlier I delivered a presentation on the energy I save from riding the bus over driving a car, the slideshow of which is located here.

What follows are my thoughts on the project.

Overall I was impressed with the video of my presentation. I said "um" and other similar words very little. I was articulate, although I may have spoken a little too quickly relative to my content of explaining math concepts. While in a speech repetition absolutely isn't bad in and of itself, I repeated myself a few times in a silly manner when explaining why I set up an equation the way I did. Also, while I personally found my presentation interesting (as it was filled with math being applied to the real world), most students probably found it boring. I also spoke for close to ten minutes, which perhaps was a little too long. Unfortunately, save for my title page, I had no graphics, something that I believe tremendously enhances a presentation.
