  The City of Progress: A Reflection on Hialeah’s Many Eras David A. Rojas SPC2608 Professor S. Sinkoff 6/4/2024 The City of Progress: A Reflection on Hialeah’s Many Eras In this blog post, I will discuss my experience as group leader for this past set of presentations that the class did regarding the different eras of Hialeah. Specifically how the “city of progress” has evolved from its beginning stages into its current state, and we even discussed some future outlines for the city of Hialeah that might become a reality sooner than we think.

     Uncovering the Secrets of Great Presentations Nathalia Forero Miami-Dade College SPC 2608 Introduction to Public Speaking Professor Sinkoff May 15, 2024 Uncovering the Secrets of Great Presentations I recently had the privilege of being present in a class giving out wonderful presentations about how to deliver great presentations. This took place in my introduction to public speaking class and I can already say that I love it already! Only on the first day I was able to learn so much & I feel super confident after listening and taking notes throughout the presentations. I found myself amazed at all the things shared during the presentations. Every group delivered great presentations & can you believe it was only the second class?! As somebody who aspires to be a nurse and wants to learn how to communicate effectively with people and deliver great communication skills, this was all just perfect and very fitting for me.  The presentations went from chapter...
