Dear Students,
Vote for the best text presentation written this semester. Justify your choice please.
If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All celestial bodies in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4 billion times heavier than our sun) with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to conviction that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

Good topic.
Week 4 [16.11-22.11] Renewable energy - modern wind farms – could be better?
Very interesting one, good preparation from the author, and a lot of informations provided. I would really recommend this one.
The reason is that it was probably the best talk I have ever listened to on TED. This was both very motivational and interesting because both the story and the achievements of the author were astonishing. It also describes the problems we seem to ignore nowadays, that we assume people just because of their grades at school. Last thing - the whole method of starting doing something from small steps appeals to me since I was already doing it like that.

Although the topic of chocolate may seem quite common, the article shed light on all aspects of this popular confection and pushed me to explore this subject further. The presentation was prepared very carefully with much thoroughness. The author provided us with the biography of the cocoa beans, and moving thought the cultural attachments to its usage in native cultures, we received a very detailed description of the chocolate-making process. I loved the fact that the author herself prepared a video, illustrating this process. Aside from the 'sweet' side of the chocolate industry, we could also learn about the dark side of it and its effect on poor communities. Furthermore, the presentation was nicely moderated, as with the author's fast responses I felt like we were talking in real life. Justyna's recommendations really made me eager to try something new. Overall, the presentation was thoughtfully carried out and reading it has lightened up my day.
I cast my vote on Week 2 [02-08.11.20] Food of the gods - by Justyna Woźniak.
It was a pleasure to read, considering that Justyna is no stranger to work in the production of chocolate. I'm glad she shared her experience with us and added a video of the production process.
