Advice/Luke's presentation- in class 5/22

In class we read an article about elite athletes and how they are able to take advice well. It talks about how we are often hesitant to accept advice and use it because it takes admitting we might be wrong, and it may not go along with the plan we purposely decided on.

This article doesn't really apply to my project very much in the sense that I don't have a coach. One could argue that my teacher and mentor take that position. I have taken lots of valuable advice from my mentor, but haven't really felt reluctant to do so. This is because I don't know too much about running so any advice was helpful to me.

Now changing topics, we also had to reflect on Luke's presentation. I got to be a student evaluator for it so I had a lot more comments written on a separate piece of paper that I handed in.  But,

Luke's presentation made me think about how my life would be different if I were more musically oriented.  I played the saxophone for a few years but it was nothing I was too passionate about or good at. It also made me worry about my own presentation a bit, I am not going to lie.  I tried to use his presentation to come up with creative ideas for presenting my information (which isn't as easy because he could demonstrate and have examples and a video, none of which would be too relevant in my own).

The variety during his presentation was good. He have a background and uses different methods for explanation which enhanced it a lot.  I think Luke could have improved his presentation by talking more about the theme of fulfillment that he seemed to focus on in his narrative because it seemed to be important to him. I don't really have any questions, he answered so many I don't think I could come up with any more!! Overall, it was a really great presentation that set the standard veryyyy high.
