1. For the attendance, we measure it by calculate the number of participant that come to the talkshow, and from the data we obtain, we have 86 participants which is twice more than we expected

2. For the post-test, we wasn’t able to conduct it because it will make the talkshow one-way interaction. So the speaker suggested that to measure the understanding of the participants, we can make an observation during question time. And based on our observation, the participants are so enthusiastic that mean they understand the talkshow
