Presenting

As a general rule of thumb I really liked all the presentations that went on today and I felt as though they all had interesting information. My only problem is that I hate the idea of a powerpoint because I literally go to sleep after a few seconds, mainly after the title screen gets showed. I think I don't like it firstly because it is the most cliche way to present information and everybody does it. The second reason which I learned from that lady at the forester lecture is it is probably the worst way to teach people information. I personally don't learn through watching slides go by and most of the time people presenting might as well not talk because everything they have to say is being read off the screen behind them and their is no connection with what their saying and if they themselves actually understand it. I am by no means attacking people who presented today if you had a powerpoint I am just  saying that in a lot of my classes it seems to be the status quo of students to copy and paste a bunch of information without really knowing what it means. That and they usually don't have the effort to memorize whats on their powerpoint so I get to read along as they studded and say a bunch of ummms and casually look at the screen. Overall for are class though I enjoyed the presentations and I am looking forward to Henry's presentation on stunts.
