There are some opinions of mine about the class of Paper Presentation. At first, I thought Paper Presentation would not be an easy lecture for most of us, and it was true. In this class we had to explain about our opinions about something then wrote them down as a paper. The difficult thing to do for me was defending my opinions by giving good argumentations. I was afraid when Mrs. Erlina asked something about my opinion. I was afraid that I could not defend my opinion. Presenting my slides in front of the class was also my difficult part in this subject. I had to control my attitude in order to hide my terrible feeling; nervous. This was the first subject that forced me to present my opinions by showing some slides in front of the class alone. It was difficult because it had to be interesting. This subject has made me braver to speak in front of many people.
I love the way Mrs. Erlina taught us and guided us how to present a good topic in front of the class. As a beginner on presenting, I am very thankful to be given Mrs. Erlina as my lecturer. She taught us one by one about making paper and presenting. She was very friendly in the class and if I did something wrong, she told me kindly. I did not feel she was angry with me because when I was wrong, she told me softly about my mistakes. I was very comfort to be in her class. She told that this class is like a preparation before Debating Class and I am sure that we are more ready to face Debating Class after we got this class. My friends in other class who got different lecturer did not do like we have done in this class. They only made a composition about given topic in 200-250 words then they told what had been written only in front of the lecturer without slides. They did repeatedly every 2 weeks. I think it was very different with this class. It was like Spoken class in 2nd semester. I was very lucky to be in this class and got more knowledge.
I was very happy when everything in this class was well-scheduled but in the middle, some of them did not run based on schedule. Some presentation schedules were moved to other day or week because something. I was very sad when I knew that I had to present my presentation faster. It was a week before the schedule that had been made. It meant that my friends and I had to finish the paper and slides in less than 24 hours. I was confused and I believed that I would not finish my paper and my slides. I was wrong because I had done my paper and my slides on time but I did not have enough time to prepare my presentation. I did some mistakes on my presentation but Mrs. Erlina said that it was okay and good.
Mrs. Erlina used to evaluate our presentation, so that we all knew our mistakes. I was afraid to listen to her comments about my presentation and I always waited for it nervously. In my opinion, the time that was given to us for presenting our presentation was enough. It was not too long and not too short. From this, we were forced to be able to manage the time that we had. Sometimes I did not focus on some slides of my friend's presentation because I focused on writing comment about his/her presentation and that was my fault. I think it will be better if we get a little time after our friend's presentation to write our comments.
Finally, I want to say that I am happy being in this class. I thank Mrs. Erlina for everything.
