8th Annual Student Research and Writing Conference

I had the opportunity to be part of the 8^th Annual Student Research and Writing Conference. This took place in amphitheater 3, DMN and were two days of learning. This was organized by a professor committee member and the coordinator of this event was Dr. Cynthia Pittmann. In this two days there was, student’s research, theme panels and creative initiatives. The purpose of this event was transforming experience through research and writing share by the students.

In my case I had the opportunity to be listener and I work as a staff.  In the experience like a listener my group presented a panels. In the classroom there is like twenty five students and we take five to present. Our group presented about the essay of Karl Joung called: Memories, Dreams and Reflections. I like how they presented because they exposed a summary of the essay and they analyzed. They presented the most important quotes of the essay and develop a critical thinking of them. On the other hand my experience as a staff was different. I had the opportunity to monitor the audience, be aware that people do not speak loud and maintain control of each situation. Also I had the opportunity to listens two presentations. I don’t remember the name of the presentations, but was something about war. The student just read their essay and they do not have visual contact with the audience. They were reading the paper in the presentation. How I was staff, I was alert of the mood of people and in this presentation the people do not was pay attention. I think that was the way they reading their essays. It took a slow way of reading and that boring all the people.

In conclusion all the presentation was interesting. I don’t listen all the presentation but I saw the title of the presenter and seems curious. Also the participation of Marileyda Hernandez was incredible. She has an angel voice and this performance represented a creative idea because apart of all student research we can enjoy of her music.
