Lab Activity, Week Eight

Interesting Highlights:

Some interesting highlights from my last post comes from the processing of social media.  First of all, I found it interesting that the judges decide how much access to grant to the accounts.  I guess when I think about that it makes sense, since in a standard case, they would have to issue a warrant to access information anyway.  I just assumed that when there was social media evidence to be found, they just got the passwords or cracked into it.  The information I found on how access is granted is direct access where the user has to give over the password and the requesting party has open access to the account, the next method of access is an in-chamber review where the judge goes through the evidence to determine what is relevant, an attorney’s eyes only review which is similar to an in-chamber review only the attorney does the leg work to find relevant data, and a third-party subpoena that is issued to the service provider.

Ways to Prepare for Presentation:

Since this journal entry is slightly overdue & I have already given my presentation, I will be speaking in hindsight about what I could’ve done to better prepare.  The first thing that I would’ve done differently to better prepare for the presentation would have been to film myself ahead of time to be able to watch myself back and see where I could make improvements.  Watching back the presentation that I did in class, the two things that I need to work on most is, as Paul put it, “the excessive use of umm…,” and my confidence.  To combat this, I think that it would mean just a lot more practice, maybe even in front of a “test” audience.  Overall, I felt good about the presentation and that it was one of the best presentations I had given to date, but I still have a lot of work to do with public speaking.  One thing I forgot to do before the presentation is a power pose.  I am sure that would have helped too.

On another point, I think that whoever teaches this class in the future may want to consider doing presentations during week 7 or 8.  I found the Q&A with my peers, and the feedback that they provided to be very helpful, and they brought up points that I had not previously considered.  There were several points that they brought up that I incorporated into my paper.  Not only would having the presentations earlier on in the quarter allow for valuable feedback that can be used in the papers, it would also keep people on track with their research as they will have to have everything prepared to present.  Lastly, it would spread out the big projects and avoid having to do several big projects in the last couple of weeks.
