 "It is very entertaining i was enjoying the presentation a lot. They spoke with very
enthusiastic
 They used the audience a lot which was funny because of their costumes. "
 "1. From the start the presentation and entire act was extremely funny. I could barely hold
in my laughter from the voices and the acting skills from everybody. The information
they were presenting was also understandable and made sense to me.
 2. I liked the theme of the presentation. It worked well with the issue and made sense. "
 The group was very well spoken and loud. The group embodied their personas well and it
felt like they really were mad scientist.
 "The way they demonstrate their problem is creative and give detailed explanations into
how they work.
 The way they integrate the class into their presentation is, so everyone gets to participate.
"
 "Presentation was very entertaining and captivating.
 Good plan of how to go through the presentation."
 "+ Very Clear and Loud Voice (Matt and Ermah only)
 +Interesting experiment to really show how the gas law works (marshmallow
experiment) This was very engaging and I personally found it very effective in capturing
audience attention"
 They used a very fun and different way their presentation is set up. Most of the group was
committed to character.
 "They were very loud, and the presentation was engaging and entertaining. They used
props and backgrounds very effectively and it made their presentation more fun.
 They made the presentation interactive with the marshmallow syringe, which gave a nice
visual for the solution and helped me understand it more. "
 Cool costumes
 Physical example of the problem."
 I like how in-character all of the group members got. This really made the presentation
very enjoyable.
 I enjoyed the physical demonstration of Boyle’s Laws. It was very engaging and hands
on."
 Loved how well they played character and made it seem like they were mad scientists.
Matt's vocabulary and Jeremiah's accent were very effective. I also liked how
understandable their presentation was.
 "I felt we kept act together and were relatively in character all the way through and made
it enjoyable enough to watch and pay attention to.
 I felt we presented the relevant information loud and clear enough to be understood."
 "-characters were fun
 -good demonstration "
 Wishes
 I wish they would be more specific on what was going on
 "When talking, Matthew would use lots of fillers and that made the presentation slightly
choppy and stop and go.
 Ermah would laugh continuously when talking I understand the presentation was funny,
but this made the presentation choppy.
 Jeremiah killed it honestly. Great acting, Great voice and demonstrated information in an
understandable method. "
 I wish that the group was a little better spoken about their problem and their research. It
felt that they got lost in their mad scientist roles.
 They could have been more prepared and organized during their presentation and to keep
their volume consistent.
 Too much laughing during the presentation
 "-Try and reduce nervous movement and swaying
 -Jeremiah speak a little louder"
 There were times where their sentences were choppy and hard to understand.
 There were some points in the presentation where they seemed a little stressed or
unorganized. It was funny, but sometimes they had to think for a little bit about what they
were supposed to be saying. However, other parts seemed well rehearsed and smooth.
 Not consistent speaking volumes and speeds.
 -I wish that the group was more prepared for the presentation as they were not very
organized in who was to talk about what. This did take away from presentation as it was
very distracting whenever they messed up.
 They could have made more visual cues for representing their findings and real evidence,
then
 I wish we had given a little more information; it felt a little barren in terms of that.
 wish we explained the graph a bit better.

Most people thought that the presentation was “funny” and that we had good costumes.

The most common thing our group needed to do was to be better organized.

For the project I helped with the storyboard, came up with the idea of the presentation
and the demonstration, I also added a statement of purpose, kept the table of contents up
to date, helped with the data, added additional information, made the power point and
cited my data. Matthew did a lot of the analysis and gave us the roles we were in.
Jerimiah was the creative person of the group he drew and wrote up the story board and
he made the graph and helped with the table for the data. I would grade all of us what
ever we got for the project overall because I feel like we all did our jobs and help each
other when we needed it.

Next time I would make an outline of what to say or make sure that there is an order of
when we speak or at least know what information a person is doing so the other person
doesn’t take it.

This experience did make sense to me. I think it was really fun and it makes certain
things easier to understand. If someone were to teach a topic like those like that, I feel
like even a second grader would be able to at least understand the concept.

I learned that you shouldn’t hold your breath when your scuba diving. I learned a lot
about scuba diving that I didn’t know before. I learned how to use one note. I learned that
if you are given the option to switch the door your chance of getting a prize rises to 66%.
I learned if you don’t talk to Matthew about an outline, he will take over the presentation.
I learned that Jeremiah has a really funny mad scientist voice.
