Before presenting this lecture, I had never been in a flipped classroom environment.  The most difficult aspect coming in to this lecture was creating materials that would be conducive for an environment I had never experienced.  The volume of materials that needed to be presented within such a short period of time was also difficult for me.  With three topics to cover, the creation of the materials was quite difficult.  However, after completing all the materials there was a significant stress relief and prospect of the lecture became more enjoyable.

                While actually presenting the lecture, I noticed at the beginning I was nervous, but not as nervous as I had been during previous presentations.  This was comforting for me and I was able to fall into a more comfortable, confident presentation.  Throughout the presentation I would notice my pace becoming more rapid during periods of information I was most interested in or passionate about.  During the rest of my presentation there was a lot less rapid speech, an improvement upon my previous presentations.  Overall I felt significantly more comfortable giving these presentation that I have felt with other presentations in the past.

                Throughout all of these experiences, I have noticed continuous improvement in my speaking pace, my confidence/comfortability while presenting, and moving around and talking freely while presenting as opposed to standing still and reading the majority of the information off slides or other materials.  While difficult and stressful at times, the experiences I have gained have done wonders for my presentation skills.
