Review on Group Presentation: Conflict (Group 1: DCLD group)

The DCLD group presented on the topic ‘Conflict’. The content the group has provided were very general. They managed to give the definition of conflict and the types of conflict. The way the presenters presented does not seem very engaging. The oral presentation was clear and contains a lot of information, it was well spoken however the one thing I have noticed was the members were reading directly off the notes or papers they have and therefore very little eye contact were made with the audience.

          The written presentation was simple and nice. They provided point forms and elaboration of the point forms in the slides they have. The words however were a bit small to see from a distance but it is still acceptable. I just thought that it would be better to cut down a little bit on words to put on a presentation slide as they were reading and explaining their points from the paper and thus it was a bit difficult to concentrate on what they are saying and what was written on the slides.

          The group did not really manage to provide very specific example of how does the topic ‘conflict’ relate to their team but what they managed to give was examples such as positive and negative conflict and gave us 6 important keys to resolution strategies and these are listening, open mindedness, act immediately, get together, thinking about other people’s needs and mediation. The overall conceptual context was informative but too general and although they have a lot to say, but it was really hard to tell of the group have a strong grasp of the conceptual context of their theme collaboration because they looked at the paper too much and it was really hard to tell if they fully understood the topic.

          The images provided made their presentation interesting for example the image showing the comparison of a Apple phone and Samsung phone and the apps on the two phones, they have included also flow graph/chart when talking about ‘prevention strategies’ which shows a critical path analysis they made. The referencing was done poorly as there were no image references at the bottom of the images they have.

          The team could improve by being more confident while presenting and refer less to their notes and have more eye contact with the audience. Other than that, it would be better to cut down on words in the presentation slides as it helps the audience to be more focused. Also, the team should have key points that they want to emphasize on so that by the end of the presentation, the audience could remember their content through key points.
