Summary: Outside Speaker Critique

Outside Speaker Critique I sat in on a lecture about HVAC on October 1. 2013 at 6:00 p.m. John Freeman was the speaker. He has been doing heating and air services for almost 29 years. In this lecture there were all men between the ages of 20 to 40. In the audience are five to seven different heating and air conditioning companies, one being Mr. Freemans. I am the only female. The purpose of this lecture was to inform workers about refrigerants and compressors. To begin his presentation Mr. Freeman nonchalantly talked to his audience about how work was, gas prices, how their day was. He did this to help bring a friendly atmosphere into the room. I believe he did a very good job at this. The audience was not talking until he did this very informal introduction. This helped get the audience involved and show that he genuinely cared for his audience.

Freeman did do to help support main points in his presentation was to use a power point presentation. When he was talking about refrigeration systems he used the power point to help emphasize his point about using it and knowing how to use it properly. The speaker’s main points to someone on the outside are very confusing. Mr. Freeman did a very good job at explaining them. I, as someone the outside, began to understand why refrigerant is important. I also learned how important it is to know what you are doing before you do something. I can use this with my life.
Research and knowledge are traits you need to have and use every day. By doing this you can help to eliminate failure in your speeches and in life

    Barry presents rhetorical strategies as a means to characterize scientific research. He thinks that being a “scientist requires not only intelligence and curiosity, but passion, patience, creativity, self-sufficiency, and courage.” Scientific research can be courageous and dangerous.

    He makes it very clear that the author or speaker’s value of knowledge is the key to persuade a crowd. Heinrichs goes as far to say, those who hold “This kind of trust is where practical wisdom comes in. The audience should consider you a sensible person, as well as sufficiently knowledgeable to deal with (a) problem at hand. ”(pg.69) I for certainly fall for the trick every time.…

    Debra Wuichet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from University of Tennessee. She is the Director of Social Services at North Mississippi State Hospital and has been working there for sixteen years. Her topic of the presentation was mental illnesses and schizophrenia. I really enjoyed her speech because I had little previous knowledge of mental illness. Even though I have taken a few classes that discussed the illnesses, I can understand better with stories or a way to imagine a situation and Debra provided that. Information that I thought I knew, was stuff I had assumed from watching television shows and movies. Most of that information is inaccurate.…

    I am critiquing group four, the members are Emily, Tyler and Cora. Their specific purpose was to inform the audience about a product, the removable heel. The topic was interesting and audience engaging. Overall their speech was well planned but not well rehearsed. They grabbed the audience’s attention at the beginning by showing how the product worked but the energy of the group slowly diminished. They related the product to the audience by showing its usefulness in everyday life. Their visual aid were good but could have been better with a little more effort. I would have liked to see more color. The visual aids did allow them to use humor. They did speak to the audience and not their visual aids.…
