Group Presentations

It was helpful to learn and see how each person interprets the different religions and what they think the most important details are. I really like the group presentations because it not only allowed us to get to know each other better but it also helped our communication and group work skills a lot by us having to communicate and plan the presentation with our partners/group. The group presentations also gave the class a taste of each religion before actually having to read and learn about it. Also by groups presenting the information rather than us just reading the book really helped me comprehend the material better. I really enjoyed the visuals groups brought in. I also liked having group presentations because it allowed each student to figure out where their strong points are and where their weak points are. By having group presentations on the religions we were also able to see the similarities and differences within the religions; it also helped me comprehend which religion was developed before the other. I think the groups should be only 2 people though so that each person has to learn and prepare more information for the class instead of relying on others to do the work. Also it seems more organized when 2 people are in a group because it is less people to have to work around.
