Bad Presentation

My favorite presentations from class were Nicole's, Sarah's and Paul's. I really liked how Nicole made her font symbols you she didn't even really know what she was reading. Sarah's was a good demonstration of what not to do because of the extremely bright colors and she covered everything. I thought Paul's was really funny because of the excess of pictures, animations, and sound clips he had going throughout the presentation.

Things that Make a Good PowerPoint:
  1. Put titles on your slides
  2. Use spell check
  3. Incorporate appropriate images and animations
  4. Make sure the font is readable and the background is easy on the eyes.

Things that Make a Bad PowerPoint:

  1. Excess of pictures, animations, and sounds.
  2. Illegible font coloring and too bright of a background.
  3. Not citing sources of information.
  4. Having too much text on one slide makes it boring.

Jake, your power point presentation was really bad so you did your task nicely. I like the fact you didn't had a title for the presentation. Also you had animations that were distracting and irrevelant pictures which made the presentation really bad.

Jake, your presentation was really bad and you finished it really fast. Your use of colors and font size made it difficult for the audience to understand. Nice job.

Jake- your presentation was definitley bad. Not including a title and using distracting clip art was a good idea.
