I found 3 very different presentations to be rather enjoyable to hear about.

The first one i really liked was Aly's presentation on coffee. I drink more coffee than anyone should and I think it is interesting to hear about. I really like the handout because before I did not know the difference between the choices I had. Although, I still only order regular coffee, it's nice to know. I think what made Aly an effective presenter was the fact that this was not a new subject to her but she was an avid coffee drinker who knew alot about her subject.

The second presentation I liked was Holmes' presentation on aquariums. I liked it because I thought it was to the point but hilarious at the same time. I mean, a fish tank really can be therapeutic and who knew craigslist had them for so cheap? Holmes was an effective speaker because he used humor that appealed to his audience as a whole.

The third presentation I found interesting was the presentation Austin did on sailing. I am from Charleston so I love seeing the boats, although I have only been out a few times it was nice to be reminded of the water and all the boats have to offer only if it was for five minutes. It was a great presentation and I was thinking about joining the sailing club so it's great to know the president is in my class. Austin was an effective speaker because of his knowledge of the sport and the fact that he has firsthand experience with his topic.
