EVALUATION:
The reporters of the first group seemed to be not so prepared but I can see
that they’re doing their best to deliver and explain their topic well. The topics and
concepts presented to the class were good the only issue is their ability to elaborate
the topic individually and as a whole. But then, I was surprised by the report of Mr.
Dela Cruz, it was really interesting and I can see that he exerted extra effort to
deliver his topic well. Overall, it was a good report by the fact that they were the
first reporter.
