What Not To Do...

Lately, all the research I have been coming across in terms of Powerpoint presentations have said the same thing; if you're going to use this software, refrain from using bulleted points in your slides. Peter has even said the same thing.

The thing that I find to be very funny is that I sat through four years of university, and in each year and almost every subject (except Peter's class, of course!) there were PowerPoint slideshows that featured bulleted points slide after slide. The prof would (I guess?) try to make things seem more interesting by using fancy transitions with their words popping on the screen (i.e. the bullets would appear letter by letter with a very annoying typing sound), but they weren't fooling anyone.

It's intersting to think that everyone is telling us what NOT to do with a powerpoint slideshow, and all throughout university, the profs (but not Peter!) were doing just that. Tisk Tisk...
