I presented my talk earlier on‚ this allowed me to change my talk (in the hopes of improving it)‚ but‚ my opportune placing in the schedule also allowed me to have more time to partake in the editing process. Overall‚ both my teacher‚ and fellow students gave me insightful‚ and worthy notes about my talk. Due to this‚ I now realize how incoherent‚ and unorganized my “slide order” was;
