For me, the best one was the "911 – what’s your emergency?". Partially for the fact, that it really got my interest (which is very subjective), but also because of the style in which it was written, the language, rich vocabulary, and last, but not least, because of the amount of information it contains. It is the article I remember the best, so my vote goes to this one.

For the last 12 weeks, it was hard to remember your favorite or the best,.I remember works about GMOs, music and the ones I did yesterday. I dont want to choose one best job each one was good. However my favorite is Bitcoins, I have delved into this topic and I liked reading about cryptocurrencies very much. Such a new hobby, this is a very interesting topic.

For me the best article was Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email. (Andrzej N)
It really made my day when I watched this video and gave me a lot of fun.

I liked this one the most: https://konwersatorium1-ms-pjwstk.blogspot.com/2017/12/week-9-1112-17122017-meaty-names-for.html. It was the only one that I've remembered in a positive way and the first one that I thought of. It was quite informative and interesting and I would recommend it for other people. It's also worth mentioning that it was not just another TED talk which is suprisingly uncommon.

For me, the best presentations were the week number 6.
Because many posts were very interesting for me. About A.I. , About holidays and etc. :D
Thank you, authors, for the interesting posts :)
Every presentation was exclusive, but the best for me was presentation about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

The one about dragon Piff :)
Because it's funny and short. I don't want to read long articles or watch videos that last for 30 minutes or so. I just don't have time for it. Even if the topic is interesting. It stills the homework for me.

I also wanted to thank all of you guys who posted videos from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell in their presentations. I found this channel thanks to you and it's awesome. The animation is really cool.

And I also wanted to say that this course (via the Internet, the blog) is great. Not only does it save our time, but it also helps us to write in English. At the beginning of the course, I couldn't write a lot in English, I used the dictionary a lot. But now I almost don't need it. And I feel bravery when commenting on YouTube, for example. So, thank you.

It's hard to choose just one! There were a lot of fantastic presentations. I enjoyed reading about the topics that students are passionate about. Even if the topics themselves were not interesting for me, I appreciate the love the authors put into preparing the presentations.

I really liked when students moderated their presentations and we could exchange ideas and get to know each other.

I cast my vote for Marcin Macieszczuk and his "Why is modern art so bad?", because he has done an excellent thing by introducing a subject in a storytelling way. The presentation has generated a lot of interesting comments and Marcin has moderated them asking thought provoking questions.

I really liked presenatations, but I think that best one is Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email. All of Andrzej's presentations were interesting, but this one was also funny, so it won :)
Unknown said…
In my opinion the best article was this one about dealing with SPAM. This video was very funny and I were laughing a lot. It was Andrzej N article.

My vote goes to the presentation called "Everything you should know about beer" by Filip Sawicki. It gave me very useful information about all different kind of beers in short and concise way. It also inspired me to approach buying beer in more concious way. :)
Unknown said…
It is hard to remember all of presentations during a semester but I liked the presentation about a SPAM because it was interesting, surprising and was written in funny way. Good job! :)
Unknown said…
I totally agree, I would emphasize a great overview of Porsche 911 history with respect to all generations that author had presented in the article. I especially liked the title as it is catchy and intriguing.
Marcin Górski said…
Every presentation was good but... the best article was this about bitcoin because thanks for that I know how it works. It was very enlightening and that's why it won for me :)

I enjoyed presentations about military questions, such as is that right to replace human soldiers with machine, the comparison of mass destruction weapons and conventional ones. I enjoyed also presentation about FRPG and some presentations about AI and whether it is dangerous or not, and can we teach ethics to AI. I also saw two pretty similar presentations about spam answering, I've got it, guys, it is funny video, well, was, maybe. I've seen a lot of presentations about driver-less cars, they are also all pretty similar.

To conclude, I want to say that this course was interesting experience for me and it gave me a good practice in using English in writing and creating articles, and I am really grateful for such opportunity.
It's hard to remember all the presentations from the last 4 months. Especially since I've watched a lot of great TED talks videos in the meantime.

From the recent ones I'd vote for the Week 11 [15.01.2018 - 21.01.2018] Displays instead of physical buttons. The language was good, plus I think it's a problem worth of attention.
Piff was great, but I thought we're supposed to vote for the written presentations.

When it comes to TED talks, there were so many good ones, watching TED became a part of my daily schedule, but the best one I've seen so far was definitely this:

part 1 from 2007 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY
part 2 from 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX78iKhInsc

I think that my favourite presentation was the one prepared by Filip Sawicki. It's title was "Everything you should know about beer." The reason why I liked it is simply that it had shown me that the reason why I didn't like craft beers was that I've simply tried only one type of them over and over again, and this type didn't suit me too well. It wasn't too boring and had shown all the major differences between the craft beers that every single one of us should know.
I liked presentation about spam the most, simply because it was hilarious. I think my vote will go to that one, even though there were a lot of nice and interesting articles, I just can't even remember a small portion of them all.

In my opinion the best was Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Holding the breath for 17 minutes! . It was really stunning information for me. I learned that people can do really big tricks. And it has 45 replies, that means for me that not only I was intrested in such stunts.

I also vote for the presentation about spam: Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email. Was funny but also educative, and give me another look for spam.
For me the TED about SPAM - "Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email" by (Andrzej N). It was completely different than others and a really interesting way to make fun of all spammers around the world.

I like many presentations, but I think the presentation "How to spot a liar?" by Michał A. during week 7 I like the most. It was really interesting and challenging presentation.
I vote for presentation "Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Movies So Bad They Are Good" simply because I love the topic and the presentation was very interesting and encouraged me to watch "The room".
There were many interesting presentations this semester, however my favourite one is "Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] Sneaker market" by Jakub A.

It is very hard to choose between all presentations, because I do like a couple of them. Nevertheless, I would like to point out that the most interesting presentation was about the dark side of robotics, which contained a TED video. I didn't know before anything about such advanced models of smart weapon and this video helped me to expand my knowledge.
I really enjoyed every presentation that I read. But if I had to choose the most memorable it will be the - Week 10 [08.01.2018-14.01.2018] Everything you should know about beer - presentation.
I vote for the presentation on spam by Andrzej Niewiadomski. Even though I haven't commented on it I enjoyed the topic and attached TED talk.

I vote for "This is what happens when you reply to spam email" by Andrzej Niewiadomski! really funny TED!

My favorite article is the one about procrastination. It brought my attention to this and I began to notice it in my life. I saw that I often put away various things for trivial reasons and now it is easier for me to overcome my weaknesses.
Unknown said…
I would choose this one https://konwersatorium1-ms-pjwstk.blogspot.com/2017/11/week-6-20-261117-making-dreams-come.html

For me it was an interesting information and I liked the presentation itself. Thanks:)
I don't know why, but "Week 4 [6.11-12.11] Stop and stare" presentation is one of my favourite - simple and sincere, overall, really inspiring. Maybe it sounds corny, but after watching this video I have started to appreciate more every day of my life.
Same as well. Title imidietly came to my eyes and even if im not the biggest fan of any Porsche model i was very interested in the topic as language used in it was rich and amount of information that wasn't so obvious for a petrolhead was high.

I vote for "This is what happens when you reply to spam email" by Andrzej Niewiadomski!

My favorite was the one about bitcoins - I didn't learn too much from it, but I could see peoples' opinion about it. The second is about SPAM- I was surprised how people could deal with it, by spamming even more...

I found this article the most interesting as well! It reminded me of my Theory of Knowledge classes in high school. We talked so much about modern art, ethics and religion. I loved those classes and that's why I really liked Marcin's article.

I vote for the presentation "How the football world I knew got broken into pieces one day".
For me it was the most interesting presentation. Probably because I love football.

Thank you Jakub for this article!

As Rafal Staron said, my favourite presentation was about bitcoin as it is my point of interest right now.
For me it was the weeks 6 presentation titled :The story of Christian von Koenigsegg - It was delivered nicely, while telling a great mostly unknown story(since we dont care about things out of our reach) and it didn't went for a video, while it could in so many ways.
Unknown said…
The best presentation in my opinion was the one about email spam by Andrzej. It really made me laugh.
Unknown said…
I'll vote for Week 4 [06.11-12.11] – Can we defeat The Reaper? - article as it contains my two most favourite youtube channels. It's hard to choose the best one because there are some many interesting one. Let me mention I liked also
Week 6 [20-26.11.17] Optimistic Nihilism (once, again my fav chanel)
Week 10 [08.01-14.01.2018] Net neutrality (as the topic was interesting/important to me)
Week 4 [6.11-12.11] Stop and stare (as it reminded me to stop and stare and I needed that)

For me the best presentation was about "The Craft Beer Revolution in Poland". This topic is very familiar to me and I like it a lot :)

Thanks, ladies.

I really liked "Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Meaty names for veggie food?" by Magdalena Popek and I vote for it.

The reason for this is because it opened my eyes for a matter I have never thought about. Also, this presentation was very well written and easy to follow - I always appreciate good writing. The pictures used by Magdalena were appetizing and questioned my love for meaty meals, which is quite a big achievement :)

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
