I. Summarize and assess the written evaluations of your group presentation. Discuss the reactions you and your group had to this feedback. What, if anything, would you want to change about your group’s preparation and presentation? Be specific.
The written assessments had good reviews. Almost all of our evaluations were fives all the way down. There was less than 5 fours total for the scale questions on the evaluations.

The decisions we had to make were never really serious decisions to make so it was easy to decide by consensus. None of us were really committed to having it our way so it was easy to discuss what we thought would work best and then do that. Everyone shared their thoughts if they had anything they wanted to share and then we
