Reflections on Seminar


Had I done enough research and preparation?

I think yes I had done enough preparation to participate in the seminar. Because it is clearly shown through my blog posts the links I posted for the articles I read and the documentries I watched.

Did I speak enough during the seminar?

Actually I spoke enough during the seminar and I tried to involve all of the members into the seminar by asking them their opinion.

Was I a good listener?

I tried to listen every one very attentively when the other members were speaking and tried to took some notes for myself to help me to in writing the introduction.

Did I argue my opinion clearly?

I tried to make some very clear arguments by explaining them through the help of different examples.

Did I give reasons, examples and evidence to support my opinions?

I tried to provide different examples and evidences to support my dialogues according to my preparation for the seminar.

Did I ask relevant questions to other people?

To some extent, yes I did ask a few members a few questions by picking up some points from their part of speech.

Was the language I used accurate?

Somewhere it was accurate but somewhere as I think I mumbled but I asked the other participants if they were unclear about anything, I could explain that again.

Had I prepared the language I needed before the seminar?

Actually I prepared the vocabulary for the seminar because I found that necessary while I tried to use seminar language somewhere, where ever I thought it is needed.

Did I direct the discussion or help keep the discussion moving in the right direction?

At some points yes, when I realized the discussion is going somewhere else instead of the actual topic, I tried to turn the other members’ attention very politely towards the topic we were discussing.

Could other people clearly understand what I was saying?

Yes of course, because when I saw some blank faces I immediately stoped my self there and asked them as if they were getting my point of view or not.

Did I work well with the other people in my group?

Yes I think because I tried many times to get every member attending the seminar involved in the discussion, just to let them express their ideas.



At the end I would like to say this seminar was much better than the previous one because everyone performed so well and at some points I experienced as if we were going to have a fight with each other and on the other hand the environment was really friendly sometimes. The arguments were strong and argumentative.

That’s all your honour
