Response to Nick Lund's " Demonstration Evaluation: How to Drive a Car with Manual Transmissions"

After watching the Youtube video, " How to drive a Car with Manual Transmission," in which Nick Lund critiqued, I would agree with him in many aspects. The video was done fairly professional and in that respect, enhanced it significantly. I agree with the positive attributes, which Nick pointed out in his blog. One positive attribute that I agree with is that the man in the video is very confident. He speaks very clear, and his eye contact at the camera is very good. Saying this, it kept me entertained. Another positive points about this video that I agree with Nick about is that the presenter does an excellent job of creating a real atmosphere when demonstrating his speech. Being in a vehicle, and showing the specific steps of manual shifting, helped me visual learn very easy. This enhanced the speech greatly and I felt like I would be able to drive a manual transmission pretty easily. Another positive attribute would be that the presenter explains the steps in great detail, which helps to understand more easily. There were many positive points to this speech, which made it good. Now, agreeing with Nick, I also believe there were some negative points. One would be that the presenter never repeats the steps to the audience. This would create the audience to forget some of the steps. Another negative aspect, would be that in the middle of the speech he started to bore me and I wasn't very interested anymore. After watching this video, I agree with Nick in most of his comments.
