1). (Regarding chapter 11) Distinguish among a forum, panel, colloquium, and symposium as a mans for making a public presentation. Which one would you prefer? Why?

Out of the four different types of public presentations I would prefer to use a colloquium. I chose the colloquium only because it sounds a bit more informal than the other styles of public presentation and it still can be capable of exerting power to the audience. Allowing humor can create bonds with the audience and they're likely to listen but just having speeches and Q&A alone can seem like a threat to our presentation at times. Just a simple single word question like “Why?” can actually boggle a persons memory and the speech can quickly lose track of what its intention is. Which is still reason to why I think that a colloquium is my public presentation of choice because at least I will be allowed on stage as a flexible human being with quick and flexible emotions. Speeches with just a Q&A alone are like speeding trains, even 2 cents can cause it to run right off the track and start a fire.
