GoogleDocs Presentation-Roger Federer

In IT 200, we were to make a PowerPoint Presentation (through GoogleDocs) about a topic or person and persuade the audience to take some appeal towards that thing or person. Me being a tennis fan, the group suggested we do a tennis player. The teacher was also a tennis fan and he suggest we do Roger Federer. Not wanting to waste any time, we got to work.

Research, of course, was the most important but we, or I, had a lot of trouble while presenting because not all the information was valid. Although I knew Wikipedia wasn't a completely reliable source I used it any and that was a HUGE mistake. Most of the information was wrong and I didn't even bother to double check most of the research. Next time, I'll double check it instead of embarrassing myself in front of the class.





The format of the PowerPoint was also a problem. My teacher pointed out that I didn't apply the six by six rule to each slide. The six by six rule means that there is a limit of 6 lines in each slide to make it easy and simple for the audience to read and follow the actual presentation. Another thing my teacher pointed out was that most of my slides were the same. We didn't used any other layout besides the Title and Text and Caption, making the presentation a bit stale. I guess we could have changed each slide with a new layout and add more graphics.
Spelling was also a slight problem. But it wasn't that big of a problem though. I misspelled ONE word. . .I guess every point counts.

One thing I would have like to work on was teamwork. We all collaborated but I felt I did a little more than the other members. I don't mean to be rude and I'm not saying that they didn't do anything but I would have liked for them to go over some of my work and revise
