Speech Reflection

1. As far as my own thoughts on my speech, I thought I did okay. I was a little bothered because I thought my first speech was a bit more comfortable and had better delivery than the second. Nonetheless, I thought I got all my info across clearly and concisely in a easy to follow manner. I just wish I could've delivered a bit yet.

2. As far as how I delivered, I think I could've been more engaged with the crowd. I had a good hook and what felt like good humor in the beginning, but then I got so wrapped up in trying to make sure that I got all of my info across that I stopped focusing on the crowd and how I was speaking. On top of that, I think I was a bit stiff, and got progressively more monotone through the presentation.

3. Really I think I need to stop worrying about memorizing certain points and patterns and just have guided thoughts. The more I try to give this completely planned out speech, the more I go monotone and fail to engage. I think if I really just try to focus on being passionate, and really driving home main points, rather than trying to perfectly organize the whole piece, it'll fix a lot of my problems.

Collegiate Opinions on Prenatal Genetic Engineering and its Uses University of Iowa Abstract Many scientists have written, countered, and fought over the ethics behind genetic engineering, and what its implications would be. Over the last few years genetic engineering has taken leaps and bounds forward with the creation and study of the CRISPR technique, and will only continue to become more detrimental to the fields of medicine and biology in the years to come. With so much in store for the future of genetics, what do college students, future scientists and researchers, believe about this up and coming technology? Are college students as secular and scientifically progressive as we make them out to be? A short survey was formed in order to get the opinions of college students on genetic engineering, specifically prenatal. 39 participants were ultimately recorded, all of which took the survey anonymously online. The data showed that students’ opinions were extremel
