Work Miscommunication

One time when I worked at the YMCA, I was scheduled to work a Saturday morning shift, but I got somebody to cover it because I was not going to be in town. It turns out they thought they were not working until the following Saturday, so they never ended up coming in for me. Neither of us showed up for the shift, so they had to call the "on-call" person to cover it. It could have been prevented if I would have written down the correct date on the calendar that this person was working for me and made sure they were aware of the day they had to come in as well.

Final Presentations/Portfolios

I liked the presentation this week on "The Guitar Top." I liked this presentation because he did a good job of incorporating the other previous presentations in his introduction which captured my attention. He also gave a little story about how his guitar was broken, and I liked this because it made the presentation seem more personal and interesting. It was my favorite because I really enjoy music and I learned a lot about how certain types of guitar tops produce specific sounding music.
I have not really had much experience honestly with online portfolios. I have set up my Clemson e-portfolio, although I have not taken the time yet to do much with it. I just need to know a general overview of some more details about the specifics of each piece that is included in the portfolio.

Three Presentations

Bryson's presentation was really good on catching bass during the spring.  I liked it because he picked an original topic that he seemed to know a lot about, so he was able to capture my attention by just talking about what he does when he goes fishing.  I learned that bass are easier to catch when the water temperature increases.  He was an effective presenter because of his knowledge on bass fishing and his enthusiasm about the topic.

I liked Ryan's racquetball presentation because I play tennis and it was interesting to hear about the differences and just learn more about the sport in general.  I learned that you hit the ball completely different than you would in tennis.  He was effective because he also seemed to really enjoy playing and made it sound like something that I would like to try.

Jennifer's body image presentation was interesting because it was very original and it was something that as a girl I could relate to.  I learned that if barbie were lifesize her measurements would be a lot smaller than what the average measurements are for the specific weight classes, so no wonder women are self conscious about their figures.  She was an effective presenter because you could tell from the way she talked that she had thoroughly researched the topic.
