Chapter 11/12- Post 1
Chapter 11 discusses the various group process and presentation techniques. These techniques can prevent the accumulation of errors leading to a poor conclusion, enhance your group’s creativity, facilitate its problem-solving process and provide a method by which the group can present that information to a larger audience in a persuasive matter (Harris & Sherblom, 2011, p. 181). A forum provides a format for speaking and listening to a larger audience; a panel is a public format in which a group of four to eight experts discuss a problem or decision in front of an audience; a colloquium is a form of public discussion in which a small group of experts discusses a problem in front of an audience with the help from a moderator; and a symposium is a series of two to six brief speeches made on different aspects of a difficult problem. Of these techniques, I would probably follow the format of the forum as it seems the most similar to the discussion style I am used to in class.

Hi Daisy,
ReplyDeleteGood job on this week’s post about the public presentations. There are four different techniques for them and they are each unique. A forum does provide a format for speaking and listening to a larger audience. It is a technique that people should learn and become familiar with. A panel is like you mentioned, “a public format for a group of 4-8 experts discuss a problem or decision in front of an audience”. And the other two are colloquium and symposium. I liked the first two techniques and prefer those to follow. Like you mentioned, a forum is similar to the discussion style that I am as well used to in class.
