In our first assignment for this course, we talked about Babylonian arithmetic using base 60 sexagesimal system. We learned about the history and Babylonian way to multiply and divide in base 60 system as well as the modern way interpretations of multiply and divide in the sexagesimal system. Overall, I think the organization of our presentation was reasonable. We covered some basics at the beginning so that audience have good background for the later content. One thing we would consider to improve in the future is to include a slide for summary and wrapping up. We shouldn't have ended our presentation abruptly. We had rehearsed several times before the presentation to make sure we had good pacing. We didn't use much of materials from the media but we did have activities to engage the class with some interactions. I would say that we did a satisfactory job and we will take what we have learned for the betterment of our future studies.
