I found the 1st presentation to be most helpful.

The use of charts and diagrams displayed the information in a visual way.

Each aspect could have been elaborated more.

I found project 3 the most useful.

There was not too much going on at the same time, which made going through the presentation easy. The information was provided in an easy to understand way.

Some of the diagrams were a bit distracting/confusing for me, but thats just my personal preference.

i liked the 1st one the most

It made the most sense and was put in a simple way that made me understand the material the most out of all of the presentations

It could have been a bit longer

I liked the 5th to be the best. Hit all the topics and also gave practice questions. The protractor one might not be great in a power point but at least we have formulas we can use instead.

I thought the 5th was the most useful, at least for me!

Well, there was a lot of great information provided in it, in a nice way. There were also a few diagrams I liked.

It was, though, kind of wordy, especially for a PowerPoint. That's just my opinion though. This can be forgiven though, I guess, because there's no oral presentation going along with it (or any of the others).

I also found the first powerpoint to be the most useful. It did not include so much text that the presentation was overwhelming, but it included enough, and a nice blend of both textual info and visual info such as such as charts and diagrams. Of course, it could have been a bit longer, but it is a powerpoint and the topic is a fairly simple one.

Yoshua said...

Oh, and maybe to improve the powerpoint include some more real life examples and elaborate on the ones you have a bit more.

I thought the 1st presentation the most useful.

It provided a lot of descriptions and examples for every aspect of the topic

I would suggest that the pictures be more specific and relevant IE: hand draw examples of scalar and vector problems that people find difficult

I found the second presentation most clearly explained the difference between a scalar and a vector. It didn't simply refer to vectors as arrows. Project 1 should have mentioned the Pythagorean theorem.
