I think it was a great idea for us to present at MURC. Nerve-wracking? Yes. Supposed to be? Certainly! Only real problem I had was the marking based on visuals, but I think that’s for pretty obvious reasons.
That said, I’m going to stick with what I said in class in that I think more time would have been better for our talks; I realize we couldn’t get a single panel to be registered over two time slots, but maybe we could have registered in two parties? I don’t know, I’m just throwing ideas out there at this point.
Also, I would have liked a little more time in class to go over the presentations; I feel like even one more rehearsal would have improved things, since that would have been another set of comments to work with, particularly to see if there were any lingering issues.
Overall, though, I getting us to present at a conference was fantastic. But again, a little more class time (in all stages of the process) would have been good.
