Powerpoint

There are multiple things that I hate about bad Powerpoint presentations. However, my top 5 are as follows:
1) Powerpoint presentations that have each word or letter pop up after clicks.
2) Presentations that have videos or images that do not show on presentation.
3) Presentations that are unrehearsed.
4) Presentations that are read directly from the slides.
5) Presentations that leave topics or terms uncovered.

Nevertheless, Powerpoint presentations can be useful. In a study, two classes of introductory economics were taught with the use of Powerpoint presentations and two classes were taught without the presentations. It was of no surprise that the Powerpoint group had higher grades than the control group. Powerpoint presentations can show images and graphs that a professor may be incapable of drawing.

Powerpoint presentations can be an excellent communication tool. With the presentation, a teacher can introduce information that students might otherwise find boring in a normal class setting. Furthermore, Powerpoint presentations can supplement the student's education through graphs and images.
