and next fades in that picture of the inbred fat hick kid that shot the boar with his .50 cal pistol.
and more text flies in
'THIS IS A BIG BOAR!'
And I ended the seminar with "And now its dead so we can really appreciate it."
And everyone laughed more than I really expected because it wasn't a very funny comment... And the presenter looked at me like I had ruined her joke.
So long story short - I hate people who use stupid fly ins, call outs, fade ins, and lame sound effects in powerpoint presentations.

If they don't use powerpoint, how should a student giving a presentation format their information? Powerpoint in and of itself is hardly a problem - it is what people are taught (or, more aptly, not taught) about what makes a good presentation.Dukester wrote:Why do you allow power point presentations?

I graduated high school in 1980.
We had calculators at our disposal, but we were not allowed to use them!
Why are rules bent to follow technology in the learning process?
This reminds me of the Southpark episode where Tolken got the good science report grade because he had the computer presentation of weather paterns!
Am I making a valid point, or does it just seem that way becasue of the aftergolf boozing?

I gave an ironically over the top powerpoint presentation in my art seminar. Being art students, everyone else had been tasteful and restrained in their presentations, but I thought "that's not what powerpoint is about - it's about clashing backgrounds, comic sans, pointless graphs, pie charts, transitions and horrible clip art" and that's what I gave them.tnf wrote:Truth.+JuggerNaut+ wrote:those that don't keep it simple, have nothing interesting to say.tnf wrote:I had to sit through some horrible pathetic meeting yesterday, and the woman giving the presentation said we all needed to wait for her last powerpoint slide because it was a real hoot.

Nothing irritates me more than students who give presentations in my classes with powerpoint and think their presentation is somehow deserving of a higher grade because they went to the trouble of adding all sorts of transitions, etc.
Problem is there is a teacher in my department who gives her kids extra credit for that kind of stuff...because you know, that is what a good science education is about...powerpoint effects.
