For Week 5, as the one who presented, I will reflect on the presentation from the preparation, presentation and Q&A part. But I will focus on the Q&A part and analyze this experience in detail.
I did not choose the topic of presentation until 4 days before it, which turned out that most interesting topics had already been chosen by my classmates. Though time was limited for me to prepare for the presentation, I felt calm and prepared my presentation in an organized way. To evaluate the preparation, the powerpoint could have been elaborated in a better way and more detailed information could have been included if I had started on the preparation early. Next time, I will start the project ahead of time and will not leave it to the last second. …show more content…
And though Xirui’s question seemed tricky, it was not hard to find his logical mistake that he equaled democratic society to a perfect society without any problems and simply categorized high power distance as a stumbling stone. Moreover, because I studied the power distance distribution map before the presentation and kept some countries’ power distance index in mind, I was able to point out that, France, as a democratic country, has a high power distance which shows that democracy does not has a necessary connection with power distance. I felt a little bit uncomfortable when Xirui raised this question, because I had to explain in front of the audiences that his opinions were narrow and flawed, as the same time, in a polite and respectable way. Though I behaved in a relatively natural way to deal with these two questions, the following situation was totally beyond my expectation. Osborn mistook other’s illustration as mine and asked a question that actually did not concern with my presentation. Even though Xirui’s question seemed tricky and obstructive, as least it related to my presentation. But how should I handle with some speaker that did not pay
