You should watch your team's presentation and write a 1/2-page or more critique focusing primarily on your own performance (but also considering how to improve your team's overall performance). You may wish to consider:

Did I dress appropriately? Was I enthusiastic? Interesting? Knowledgeable? Convincing? Creative? Did we have handouts for our classmates? Anything to touch, hold, eat, or look at? Did I speak clearly and loudly, and avoid "uhs" and "ums"? Did I look at, involve, and engage the audience or was I looking at notes, the computer, or overheads? Did I show interest when my teammates presented? Did I use an appropriate amount of time, and did I use the allotted time wisely? Did our team use our time wisely, and use an appropriate amount of time? Was my work well-coordinated with that of my teammates? Was the presentation dominated by one or two people? Were some team members left out? Did I identify and reference important and/or valuable resources? Were my PowerPoint slides easily readable, or did they contain too little or too much text, too small text, or inadequately contrasting colors? Did I include enough appropriate (large, clear and quality) pictures, videos, maps, graphs, and other audio-visual enhancements? Was my content the most relevant and appropriate to the topic and class? Did I have a clear introduction and conclusion? Did I use examples? Graphs? Tables? Figures? Did I address important numbers? Is my web site up, and is the PowerPoint loaded on the web site? What did I do well? How can I improve?
