PBL #2 Reflection

It went well. After much hurried preparation and an amount of worrying by myself comparable to that of a fat, caged turkey on the last Wednesday of November, the presentation went off fairly smoothly. The presentation was of course, about a hypothetical scenario involving various artifacts in the Theater of Marcellus, and our group's attempt to let PBS investigate further. This would lead to a new branch of the popular show, "History Detectives," this time based in Europe. Our decision to not film our findings, but rather present them in person seemed to go over well. We were able to display our knowledge of our individual artifacts and topics and none of the elements felt out of place, as often happens with video presentations. My personal knowledge was based on Vitruvius, as my artifact was a scrap of parchment with his name on it. Essentially my end of the presentation ended up as a rehash of the importance of Vitruvius to the architectural world, with particular attention paid to his chapters on theater construction. However, it turned out nicely, and should end up being graded much higher than the first PBL.
