Assignment 2：
From the book on Project Sponsorship: Achieving Management Commitment for Project Success, 2nd Ed, provide your analysis and reactions about which practices are currently done well or not well in a current organization. What take-aways from the reading will you implement to manage up an organization? How can you ensure adequate sponsorship is present and sustained on technical projects?
Highlight your lessons learned from this reading. Describe which practices may be especially meaningful for you. How might you adopt, adapt, and apply them on current or future projects?
Assignment 3:
Then, using what you learned from your transcription, as well as considering the entire recording, reflect on your presentation. In a paragraph of approximately 250 words, answer the following:
What do you think went well about creating this presentation?
What was challenging about creating this presentation?
What surprised you about this assignment?
Consider your language, including sounds (consonants and vowels), prosody (word stress, rhythm, and intonation). Did you hear any errors? Name them specifically. Please also rate your delivery, including volume, rate, and fluency. Finally, do you notice any grammar errors?
Please summarize the feedback you received from your classmates. Do you agree or disagree?
What, if anything, will you do differently the next time you create a presentation?
Attach:
a transcript of your speech
a trimmed recording of your speech, and
a paragraph.
There are five points available for the accuracy of the transcription, and the other five are for completely answering the questions. (Note: I may deduct for failing to attach the recording or failing to trim the recording.)
