Seeing the different medication being handed to him inspired me to understand biological and chemical processes that happened.

The presentation by Briana Voyer on Legalization of Drugs was well organized, but it still held room for improvement. During the presentation I could not see or hear mention of the history behind the topic, which should have been in the first few slides. Voyer begins with what ways legalization of drugs is bad, and follows with examples as to why. To do this, she made the next slide her data on the subject. Some of the information shared up to this point was false, as I noticed from my per-presentation research. The organization and how the presentation was set up, however, did help make the view persuasive, however, the bullet points contained too much information. When making a power point it is a standard that your bullets should not

Other than that, I believe my presentation was interesting because by the look at the audience faces; they were all paying attention and manage to laugh at some parts that I presented. My narrative was quite easy to understand because I wouldn’t finish what I had to say for each slide for talking at a normal pace. I should have talked a bit faster than that.
To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was

In the healthcare field pharmacist will constantly encounter situations were they will have to recommend the most appropriate treatment for a patient. Furthermore, as part of a healthcare team, other professionals will look up to us and expect us to have the knowledge and skills required to make the appropriate decisions and recommendations.

I had thirty minutes to present an introduction and the power point and feel I could have went more in depth if given more time. Overall, I feel this teaching experience was a success.
