Today was the first test iteration for both OGPC teams. Here are the notes for improvement for both teams.
-Presentation- -Slides are very detailed and full of text. Paraphrase. Cut these down so it is simple and easy for the audience to read and understand. -What is the required information that need to be on the presentation? Ensure that the presentation contains what is required, do not fill with unrelated material. - Do not talk about the negatives of the presentation. Mention the positives and how the team was able to work around challenges. Do not throw people under the bus for not doing work. - Have each person on the team talk, not just one person. Be proud. Practice the presentation. -Game- -No instructions are given on how to move in the game. - Ensure that language in the game is spell checked and contains proper grammar. -What is the player's task? Define what they have to do? How are they able to do this? -Make direction in the game more clear, they are confusing to the audience.
