The semester is end after taken new helpful classes not only in the major, also in our life such as in our work. It’s one of important skills in any practiced life. Whole my life I will remember this subject and I am proud because I learned under the hand of Mr. John Vrhovnik.


we have gained in this course very important in preparing and planning that will helps us to improved our English skills by experiences in organizing, before I had taken this subject I enter the meeting without preparing for it, such as agenda, but now I recognized what we must to prepare and organize for the meeting by having the agenda and planning. I hope in future to use these skills that will help me to get a great meeting.


the biggest challenges in this course was the semi-formal presentation, because its difficult to me to do a presentation without using Power Point many slides because only two slides, it’s the first time to form be but the Mr. John Vrhovnik help be and with more practice its became easier to me it was the biggest challenge for me and I did will.

Formal presentation report



On Friday 30th of December 2010, my classmates Saoud Husain Al Bloushi (H00157343), (H00159080) and Adnan Abdulla (H00158036) made a presentation about “Renewable energy sources” at 10:15 am in J33. In this report, I am going discuss their presentation.


First of all, Saoud went through the introduction of what renewable energy means, and how many types of renewable energy we have. There was only one slide which talked about the means of renewable energy. other slide speak about how dose the energy been produce from the current. There are many types of renewable energy. Saoud mention about ocean current energy and what is the advantages and disadvantages of ocean current.


Later on, Adnan talked about solar energy. There was one slide for this point, the slide talk about solar energy work and its useful solution. After that, Adnan went through wind energy. He presented the wind energy in one slide and Adnan presented the wind energy clearly. However, he said the wind energy is useful in our environment .finally Adnan summaries what they mention on the presentation. There bibliography was in APA format, I think it was fine. The style of their presentation was very good in all.


In general the whole presentation was good .As there were no spelling or grammar mistakes. I liked how they answer the question with real example. Adnan and Saoud to improve their presentation delivery skills.
