Peer Response

It seems that many of us have the fear of public speaking.  Whether it be addressing a large crowd or simply presenting in front of your classmates, not too many of us have that much experience.  I think a lot of it has to do with your classmates and how comfortable you are around them.  Although many of us in class do not converse with one another, there seems to be a good energy, understanding, and respect for one another (Unless you mention how a 3.2 on a resume for a chemical engineer is a poor choice in front of a class that has a handful of engineering students, haha, that was fun, just giving you a hard time Rich).

I feel more comfortable in 402 than I do in some of my other classes.  I think a lot of us getting involved in class discussions helps and it should help when giving our presentations.  I would like to predict that many of us do just fine and find it easier than expected...again, because we have a strong solid class.

A great thing that Kat does is expose a lot of our work to be criticized and/or praised by classmates.  She does this every class and it allows us to step up and have our voice be heard.  In much of my college experience I have been a statistic amongst many other students.  Kat does an amazing job of making us all feel comfortable, allowing us to take away a lot more from the course.
