wk. 4/25-5/2 quest. 1

1) A forum is a public discussion where the full audience participates after the small groups presentation. A panel is when a group of four to eight experts discuss a problem or decision in front of an audience. A colloquium is when a group of three to six experts discuss a problem in front of an audience but have a moderator facilitating their interaction. A symposium is a series of two to six speeches made up of different aspects of the complex problem. I would prefer to participate in a symposium because it is more concise and divides the problem already into groups where it might be improved. Each speaker will have a different topic and be very familiar with the topic, each other member would be familiar with theirs and therefore the individuality will help the group discuss the bigger issue with in the problem. The audience will be more inclined to discuss the topics because they will be organized.
