Last Thursday was the day that I missed out on a great learning experience. I am upset at the fact that I chose to leave class because I could not do what was asked of me to do. As soon as I heard that we would have to stand up in front of the class and talk about our website I started to get nervous. Then I hear that we would have to critique a classmate’s website and that is when I ran out the door. I could not see myself as a criticizing someone’s work when I was not very proud of my own work. I later found out that I completely misunderstood the whole critique aspect. It was not about pros and cons, it was more about suggestions and positive feedback. I would have realized this if I would have stuck around, but since I just left I failed to see how other students were doing the critique. In addition to all of this I am extremely shy and if given the opportunity I would avoid all presentations. It is extremely nerve racking to stand up in front of a group of students and I honestly would chose not to do it, but in this case it is necessary to learn and get back feedback. If anyone has any helpful tips to get rid of the nerves I would love to hear them.
