Reflection Paper for Panel Discussion

To be honest, we felt a little disappointed when Ms. Jeanne Purpura told us minutes before our panel discussion that the projector was not available for use. In addition, we also sort of panicked because almost half of what we would deliver that day was only based and could only be delivered effectively by our powerpoint presentation.
The graphs and statistics we have researched about were included in that visual aid; the audience might have enjoyed and understood the discussion more if the projector was functioning well. All the same, we still managed to get through. In fact, in my opinion, we have achieved our objective of informing the audience about mobile nuclear drive, its advantages, disadvantages and consequences to the health and welfare of the society. However, no panel discussion is perfect. In fact, no speech is flawless; everyone has his/her own strengths and weaknesses. And in this paper, I am going to discuss the strong and weak points of our panel discussion. Let me begin with the “Speaker” aspects in the rubric for panel discussion. I admit that one of the weak spots of our group was the lack of enthusiasm in our facial expressions and voice projection. We, the panel members, also failed to establish rapport with one another. However, in my opinion, my groupmates and I tried our best to be as knowledgeable as possible with regards to our assigned topic. Without a doubt, I can tell that we looked prepared and credible, not just because we are engineering students and are expected to really have some grasp of these kind of topics but because we have really researched and internalized the issue in depth. We also wore appropriate formal attire and took our respective roles as different kinds of engineers seriously. As a result of these, we had some convincing power towards the audience that I felt their eagerness to listen and learn more about our subject matter. They

    Glossophobia, also know as the fear of public speaking, is the top rated fear in the United States according to Brandon Gaille. People are far more scared of public speaking than death and even spiders. It is a primal fear of being ostracized and cast out, but it is something that should not be fear so highly. With practice and a few good points public speaking can be an experience that the speaker and the audience can connect and share a story that teaches each person something new.…

    I have learned that in order to give an better, or an effective speech we need to understand what goes on during the process of communication the seven elements are Sender (Speaker), Message, Channel, Receiver (Listener), Feedback, Interference and situation (environment). The “SENDER” starts the process with what he or she wants to speak about and this depends on knowledge of the subject, personal credibility, preparation and enthusiasm. The “MESSAGE” is what you are communicating to someone else. “CHANNEL” is the way the message is communicated. “RECIEVER” is the listener. “FEEDBACK” allows the sender to know if the message is being received. “INTERFERENCE” can be internal or external. You must try to keep you listener’s attention despite the interference. Last “SITUATION” is time, place and emotion where the communication takes place. The seven elements will determine the outcome of speech communication.…

    Winston Churchill once said, “A good speech, should be like a woman’s skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” Public speaking is a skill almost everyone in today’s world needs to develop to succeed. There are people that are born without stage fright and know how to manipulate a crowd to their pleasing. For most of us, we’re not accustomed to public speaking and it takes multiple speeches to gain a sense of comfortability in front of a crowd. In this pre-course analysis, I’m going to talk about my past speaking experiences, strengths and weaknesses, my goals for this course, and how I plan to use public speaking in the future.…
