Very well done to today's presenters

Hello all,

I thoroughly enjoyed the six presentations we listened to today for the Communication Unit we are working on.

I think Jan and Yvonne summed it up perfectly when they noted they were fantastic and fabulous, and I must agree.

We had six very competent deliveries which were well researched, sensibly structured, covering a variety of topics and to a high standard of delivery, so well done to Kellie-Anne, John, Lisa, Shannon, Vel and Robyn.

The subjects were Alcohol and Drug Addiction, Meditation, Wim Hof Method, Trichotillomania, The Gloria Films and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.

I would like you to comment on how you felt the session went this afternoon, especially if you presented your research today, but I encourage any attendee to provide feedback too. Every comment counts after all!

Wonderful work all round and total success, very well done.

Thank you to all attendees; I am sure you will have learned a great deal from the talks, for lots of reasons.

Please note down your reflections below.

Mark

  1. I really enjoyed the engagement from the attendees asking the questions, really thoughtful. I could see that everybody who had their cameras on who were listening were doing just that, listening! Engagement and supporting your peers is very much part of the learning, teaching and assessment philosophy I believe in. Very well done again. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Mark

    1. Hi Vel, that's wonderful. It is great to share our learning and I am sure there will be many members of the class looking at 'Gloria' shortly online! You did all the hard work, I merely facilitated the learning. Well done again, I enjoyed your talk very much indeed. All the best and see you next week for round two! Mark

  3. I think everyone done an amazing job. I felt a bit anxious to begin with but I do think it was much easier doing it on zoom. I felt a little overwhelmed with the feedback. As much as I am a work in progress, I can still have a lot of self doubt. Thanks again.

    1. Morning Kellie Anne, lovely comments. I think it is OK to feel overwhelmed with such positivity; it was certainly merited! Hopefully any self doubt (which is perfectly acceptable for us all to feel like that) is slowly diminishing. You did a great job and thank you for stepping up to the plate first, it got the assessment sessions off to a great start. Have a great week and I hope to see you in the next two sessions too. Mark

    2. Kellie Anne - your presentation touched my heart. Courage is not the absence of fear but feeling the fear and doing it anyway. That is true courage. Thank you so much for sharing some of your story. Jan x
