Review on Group Presentation: Conflict (Group 2: Kinecting the Boxes)

Kinecting the Boxes is the second group to present on the topic “Conflict”. The group managed to put up a very presentation slide. The slides were interesting and visually attractive to look at. The oral presentation was interesting at the beginning as the speakers spoke loud and clear however I felt that they have lost the audiences as the presentation goes on because it was clearly seen that the members read off their notes and papers. Although the pronunciation was clear but it felt like they were reading instead of presenting. The presentation was not too interactive as they were no eye contact with the audience. Some speakers were better at communicating and managed to connect with the audience.

The written presentation looked nice and appealing. However, the texts were too small and contained too many words on the slides which made it hard to read and also too much information too digest. Due to the amount of words they have, it was a bit difficult to focus. The group touched on ‘responding to conflict’, characteristics of conflict and 6 key characteristics of dealing with conflicts, resolution influence factors, resolution benefits, the techniques (e.g force and compromise) and explained on how that works in general. The have provided one example that relates to their team with the topic Conflict which is Techniques, and one of the techniques they use is by force. The group leader herself said that she forced them to work within the timeframe that the group has, although she personally does not like that.

I do not really know if the members understood the conceptual context of their theme collaboration because the members read directly from the notes or papers they have and it really looked as though they were reading and not giving a presentation. As for the images, on the ‘characteristics of conflict’ slide they slotted an image in and there was no image reference below they image. The overall presentation was informative in a general way but oral presentation could be improved and specific examples should be included to show connection between their group and the topic.
