  8. Name & Section : Vandercar, RN Overall Comments: All in all, another effective job w/ this question. & you’ll see that the response team, below, thought the same. I had misgivings about how you rushed through some of the “Access” issues, & later on, when on the “Emotion” slide, you used that dangerous construction “parents should” — after all, it’s very difficult to legislate behavior btw. parents & children in their own homes.

  9. Response to John Vandercar’s Essay of Mediation Presentation John Vandercar researched and brainstormed a possible mediation for the question, “Is the internet making children lazier?” Engebretson personally was interested in how he went about his project because she mediated a very similar topic. Instead she researched the benefits and disadvantages of technology within education. “I really enjoyed Vandercar’s presentation. He researched some aspects that I didn’t even think of like plagiarism” (Engebretson). Ian Baer thought the PowerPoint was extremely organized and he could tell Vandercar did a lot of research to prepare for the paper and presentation. “Vandercar did a nice job on using up the space with pictures but may have been too much on some slides” (Tong). Apart from his slideshow, Jenna Engebretson felt like Vandercar felt very comfortable in front of the crowd. “He did a great job adding additional information rather than just including just the information on the slides” (Engebretson). Paul Tong stated the statistics supported his topic and made his presentation and mediation stronger. “The mediation John Vandercar proposed connected to the information he explained in a logical and encouraging manner” (Engebretson).
