NextVista Comments

1) Citing sources
Strengths: Informative speaking, used a pause, and sound was decent.
Weaknesses: Screen size made it hard to read. Hard topic to teach under 5 minutes.

2) Hamlet
Strengths: Used students, creative.
Weaknesses: Music scared me in the beginning, transitions not smooth, attempted too much, fast talking, sound difficult to hear on outdoor scene.

3) Percent Tip
Strengths: Visual representation of chart along with teaching.
Weaknesses: I think it is easier to calculate a 15% tip by taking 10% of the total and adding half of 10%.
