Seminar Reflection

Good morning, everyone...

Yesterday, we do our first seminar, about the media!! I find it very interesting, but sometimes when you want to interrupt someone for your group you can because he or she just continue to speak and you can stop him or her!!Anyway, i found it very informative, because we have in depth discussion about the first part of the seminar ''television viewing habits around the world'', so I learn a lot about the laws and the current situation of TV on different countries around the world.
In my mind of view, for the next seminar I would like to do some improvements, because I want to learn how to interrupt someone more polite or how all the members of our group to do some questions and not only the one, because i think tis isn't a seminar but I ''mini'' lecture in four people!! furthermore, if all the member have one more active role the seminar will become more interesring and interactive!!!

How good was I? 2
Had I done enough reserach and preperation? 2
Did I speak enough during the seminar? 3
was I agood listener? 3
Did I argue my opinio clearly? 2
Did I give reasons, examples and evidence to support my opinions? 2
Did I ask relevant questions to other people? 3
Was the language I used accurate? 2
Had I prepared the language I needed before the seminar? 2
Did I direct the discussion or help keep the discussion moving the right direction? 3
Could other people clearly understand what I was saying? 2
Did i work well the other people in my group? 2

I think you were a little quiet at times. Your English is good enough to allow you to be a little more forceful at times - don't be afraid to interrupt and to assert your opinion. I know what you mean about 'mini lectures' but to a certain extent it is up to the group to make the seminar more interactive and more of a discussion.
