1. is the topic well covered?
Each video defines key terms, and covers the critical parts of AI. The videos do a good job tailoring their message and terminology to the specific audience.
2. is the presentation clear?
The presentations are clear. Visual aids, pictures, and videos are used to help convey concepts, and do a good job keeping the presentation focused.
3. how is the quality of the research?
While the presentations do not list their sources, they include a lot of interesting and specific information, which shows that a significant amount of research went into creating the videos.
4. how is the quality of the video production?
The presentations mainly step through slideshows, alternating between speakers. The videos are well edited and do not contain any errors.
5. is the video engaging and interesting?
The videos are extremely engaging. AI is an interesting technology, and the presentation does a good job of providing many real-world examples of what it is discussing.
6. is the team work evident?
Yes, several different team members take turns narrating slides.
7. is the video appropriate to the audience (either general public or technology professionals)
As previously mentioned, the videos tailor themselves to the intended audience. The video targeted towards the general population takes a more simplistic approach to the concept, while the professional video takes a deeper dive into the nuances.

1. is the topic well covered?
Yes, the videos cover many of the aspects of mobile advertising, such as their often fraudulent, and predatory nature.
2. is the presentation clear?
The presentations are clear. While, in my opinion, the “interrupting ads” joke sometimes carries on for too long and ultimately distracts from what the presentation is attempting to convey, overall the videos are well organized and presented.
3. how is the quality of the research?
The videos include which references were used for a particular segment. These references are high quality, and show that a significant amount of research was done to compile the presentations.
4. how is the quality of the video production?
The video production is very high. Speakers take turns narrating over presentations that are highly dynamic, which include video elements, and various parodies of advertisements interrupting the experience.
5. is the video engaging and interesting?
The videos are highly engaging. The topic of mobile advertisements is relevant to practically everyone in the technology space, and the team created videos that keep the viewer interested via dynamic elements.
6. is the team work evident?
Yes. Multiple different speakers narrate over the presentation.
7. is the video appropriate to the audience (either general public or technology professionals)
At first the animation caught me off guard. I think this works well for the general public presentation, though the professional presentation also included a small animated section, which I am not sure is suitable for the intended audience.

1. is the topic well covered?
The topic is well covered. Certain key issues like space pollution, download speeds, and region coverage were discussed.
2. is the presentation clear?
Some of the speakers talk a bit fast, which personally made it difficult for me to parse some of what was being conveyed.
3. how is the quality of the research?
There is a lot of good information in the presentations. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the group performed a small study on Reddit, though I am not sure the sample size is large enough to make widespread observations. The presentations did not include references, so it is not possible to directly validate the quality of their sources.
4. how is the quality of the video production?
I would have liked to see some more production on the general population video, as that presentation mainly included shots of the narrators. The professional presentation was much more dynamic, stepping through slides, and video clips.
5. is the video engaging and interesting?
The videos cover an interesting topic. I think the general population video could have had more dynamic elements to keep the viewer engaged, as the professional video did.
6. is the team work evident?
Yes, multiple speakers take turns narrating, and presenting the different slides.
7. is the video appropriate to the audience (either general public or technology professionals)
The general population video might have been too information heavy for the public. I think the professional presentation catered well to the intended audience, mixing presentation with information.

CST 300 emphasized collaboration. The main lesson I will take away from this class is that the software engineering industry is built on top of collaborative projects, and that being able to work in that sort of environment is extremely important. Our team’s collaborative ability faltered a bit throughout the course. I think the most important aspects to improve on is the communication between team members, and the ability to set deadlines, and deliver by those times.
