Presentation` s day.

 

         There were three topics which were IBM, MS-DOS, and the Computer`s Development. The first group delivered their presentation really well, and made us do a “True” and “false” quiz. I really enjoyed their quiz, and learned about the origins of IBM, and how rudimentary were the first personal computers. Later we took the stage and talked about the  MS-DOS. Concerning our presentation, we did a great job gathering information about MS-DOS, so we were very clear; in fact, we talked about its origin and evolution. Later we showed a POW TOON video that enforced all the information  we had said. Talking about the video we did not make the effort  to add sound to it  in order to comply with the requirements of the professor, so that was a mistake. Although the video was clear, the sound would have enhanced it even more. After the video we had technical problems with the quiz because we were not able to upload it in the campus, so we became frustrated, and the professor intervene to fix the issue. Finally, everything went right, and we finished our class with a six in performance.  Corollary to this, I would say that If we had tried the quiz before we would not have had issues. Besides the fact that we took very long time to deliver the presentation made look unprepared. Although it is  obvious to rehearse before coming to class we took it for granted, and we were penalized for it. So I agree ! The last group showed us all the computer history from the first computer in 1810 - I Think! then they told us about the (ENIAC) which was another first computer and other things. Their quiz was a Word puzzle and I was great too. Their preparation was great and they perhaps had a good grade. At the end of the class the professor me us browse an information in the virtual Campus so we can see things about the Microsoft Word and Excel  that will be discuss it  in next class.
