  6. Colten Tennison Maddy Scholten Shawn Anders Red Light Cameras by Taylor Wisgerhof In the presentation of Red Light Cameras by Taylor Wisgerhof, Taylor gave an impressive performance. “He had accurate statistics, based on her bibliography” (Tennison). Another member of our response team, Maddy, analyzed the presentation by stating “Taylor presented the information in a logical and understandable format. He obviously had done a lot of background research, he was very knowledgeable” (Scholten). The visual aspects of Taylor’s presentation added to the effectiveness of what he was attempting to mediate. “His use of visuals added to his presentation by providing relative background information of the red light cameras, and he proved he really knew his topic well” (Anders). Another way of telling that Taylor was well – prepared for his presentation was the tone of his voice. It was strong and confident, giving the obvious impression that he was prepared to present. He also didn’t use his notes, or look at his PowerPoint hardly at all. The mediation that he proposed at the end of the presentation seemed to work well. Proposing to keep some red light cameras, lengthen yellow lights, and have extra reviewing of the photos gives an even mediation for both sides of the argument. He did not include his own bias, and understood both sides.
