I think that everyone has experienced sitting through a really boring lesson that uses what can seem like the worst PowerPoint presentation in the world! I still remember trying to remain awake during some of my high school courses where the teacher used nothing but text on his/her PowerPoint presentation. I still can't understand why they couldn't spend just 10 more minutes looking for at least a few images that can help us (students) stay awake. I can also remember when some student would make a PowerPoint presentation that was very difficult to follow because he used backgrounds that would make it impossible for us to read the text. It would get to the point where students would just give up trying to follow along the presentation and take a nap instead. Here are a few other things that really bother me about bad Powerpoint presentations:
- Too much text, to the point where I feel that I am reading a 10 page paper!
- The same layout in every single slide!
- Text that is too small or with font that makes it difficult to read!
- Too much going on in every slide, which can make it hard to pay attention to the presenter!
