How it is to be evaluated by others in simulated teaching

I think the peer evaluation section help us in our future presentation, it tells what we should or should not do in our presentation. Sometimes, we do not realize our weakness until someone points it out, or sometime we know our weakness but we take granted that it will not affect our presentation but in fact it does, I have presented on the first day of simulated teaching and appreciate all the praises and comments given by my friends. I get some good comment such as, dress-up appropriately, loud and clear voice projection, interesting activity, well-prepared, and chose the text at appropriate length. I also get some comment to help me to improve in the next presentation, such as lacking of vocabulary and grammar error. This kind of approach is very helpful and effective to the improvement of my presentation. One think I do not agree is putting our name in the evaluation form so that it will not turn out to be personal attack.

i agree with you, sapphire. it is good to know that people praise you for your 'well-done' job, for your efforts that you have done. people are honest enough to tell us that they are satisfied with our performances. but i just do not understand why some of them hide the real truth, i mean not being frank enough to tell on our weaknesses and such. maybe we are trained or brought up to be more 'covered-up' rather than being honest.
we cannnot blame on others, as this has become our way of life.
but anyway, we all have done our best for the microteaching, right?

good luck and take care!

i also agree with you sapphire. it is hard to get a compliment from others when we do our job. but from thing evaluating, we can know what is our weaknesses and what is the best thing that we can produced. if we know our mistakes, we can improve it next time. but the most important thing is, we have to tell the truth so that we can know our mistakes wright. like jazzy said, why do we need to hide the truth. from the truth, we can help others in improving their way of teaching perhaps.
