I Created, prepared by making a plan and found a focus. I would say I was prepared but not to the best of my ability. The rules that were created for the discussion were that you can't interrupt when someone else is talking and that when someone else is up to talk don't be loud. The rules were followed well. I think I did a very good job of presenting my viewpoint. I didn't really use anything from my personal past during this discussion, I only used information needed for it. I listened to my group members and answered the questions they asked during the discussion. I defended my claims against others by proving my points using evidence. They used facts and evidence to support their claims and points. I would say there wasn’t a time when evidence wasn’t used. All group members were heavily encouraged to use evidence and they did. Yes, there were times when the whole group didn’t agree on the same thing. It was only minor things and it was only natural for our opinions to differ. My tone was appropriate for this discussion because I used a business or professional tone. No purposeful gestures or expressions were used, only pointing. I used eye contact throughout the discussion just to look at the others. I wasn’t quiet when talking but I wasn’t loud either. I talked just loud enough for my voice to be heard by everyone. The group solved problems well and effectively. The group was effective.
