COSC220 Project Video Review

This report provides a critical analysis of three COSC220 project videos. The review assesses each presentation's clarity, effectiveness of visual aids, and the speaker's ability to convey information. Specific feedback is given on each slide, highlighting areas of strength and weakness. For example, one video on earthquake data analysis suffered from poor visual clarity and insufficient explanation of key concepts. Another video, focusing on a database design, lacked clear articulation of code functionality and project goals. The final video, while starting strongly, needed more detailed explanations of diagrams and a stronger summary. The overall assessment emphasizes the importance of clear communication, well-designed visuals, and thorough explanations in effective technical presentations.

Syndicate COSC220 Project Video
The speaker started the presentation with less enthusiasm in his voice. The main slide does not
show the content title “earthquake” about which the video was about.
Even the second slide failed to show what actually is being explained in the coming slides. Only
generic content structure has been presented. Even the speaker did not explain it here.

This slide helps the user understand what the speaker wants to talk about. The content seems
good as per understanding what the project was about.
Map and data less visible and the speaker failed to give proper view of the map. This failed to
establish ground about what actually speaker would be doing next.

This shows clearly what the speaker wants to achieve. The speaker also tried to explain this for a
while.
Explanation seems good at this point.

Explained well, however, it could have been in more detail with one more slide and bigger fonts.
Speaker tried to explain the map. It helped in understanding what the relations are

Explains what has been done so far clearly but speaker speaks little on it, allowing less time for
viewer to understand.
Clearly stated what need to be done by the team.

Problems have been explained, but it is too wordy and should have been short and crisp with
explanation of speaker.
This shows the team learning. Which is less clear to the viewer.

The problem explanation in the end is not clear.

COSC220 DesignVideo OccamsRazor DBFeature
Clear from the first slide that what speaker will be talking about.
Explains what database is in brief with not so clear audio.

Speaker unable to explain what are those codes exactly and how they are benefitting the further
discussions.
The speaker is unable to explain what exactly is being achieved here. The viewer will not be able
to clearly understand the content if not being explained properly.

Asking for feedback seems vague, it could have been more clear and explained exactly what is
expected.

Design Video - Eleventh Hour
The first slide clearly shows what a viewer can expect in this presentation. The speaker explains
what is going to be discussed and what can be expected by the end. The audio is clear.
The speaker vaguely explains what the diagram depicts. So he could have stated more strongly
and explained clearly.

The speaker should have consider better articulation while explaining this figure.
Diagram is clear and helps viewer the network, but explanation is not upto the mark. The speaker
could have explained the diagram in more detail with better explanation. Moreover, he failed to
summarize the whole presentation and thus the led the viewer to lose on the overall idea.
