I liked this presentation because it was fun, they tried to be more entertaining.

I didn't like this presentation because it said don't make a powerpoint if you're not passionate about something but the truth is you don't always have a choice.

I learned where you got the saying an extra slide doesn't cost anything from and to not follow the steriotypical rules.

I'm pretty sure the major detail that was not addressed in this little decoupage is that to have an interesting powerpoint, you should begin by illustrating an idea that holds one's attention. This example of a powerpoint about how to make powerpoints... is an example of what not to do.

I liked how it was fast and easy to read and understand. There were many good points about making a good presentation. I didnt like how there were a couple of slides that were unneeded and pointless. I learned that making an extra slide with less information can make your presentation much better.

i liked how in this presentation there were more slides but less text on each one. it kept my attention through the entire thing. I also liked how it used pictures to emphasis the content on the slide.

I didnt like how it said you had to be passionate about the topic. As rodger said, sometimes you really don´t have a choice about what media form you have to use for your presentation.

from this presentation i learned that rehearsing the actual presentation, keeping slides simpler, keeping the slides free of a sea of text (just keep points simple), and using pictures as emphasis make the overall presentation less boring and less likely to put the audiance to sleep.

I thought this was effective, mostly because it was funny and used great images.

To be honest, there wasn't anything I disliked about it.

It showed how much you can convey with a very small amount of words while being funny and entertaining.

1. What i liked about this powerpoint was the occasional jokes in the powerpoint.

2. sometimes the pictures were distracting and didn't help the powerpoint

3. I learned that repetition gets people to learn things

I like the colorful language and wild imagery. I also like the line about bullets killing people, it was clever. I didn't like that it was actually informative and as you know I am adverse to concentrated learning. I learned how to make a power point more exciting and interesting to the viewer.

1) I liked how this powerpoint had big bold points. There was never too much information to take in and there were cute pictures that were often funny and always related to what the slide was about. It gave a good representation of what to do and what not to do and it also didnt seem too long but now looking back on it i realized that i did absorb a lot of information.
2) I didnt not like that much but one thing that i noticed was that it felt like the powerpoint was treating me as if i were an idiot. I realize this may be because no one was speaking along with the presentation as its supposed to be done but that is the only thing that i didnt like about it.
3) I learned that simple information spread out over many slides is better than one slide with a lot of information along with diagrams and pictures that makes it confusing and hard to understand. Also, people like things that are funny and clever with pictures so it is better and makes it more interesting for the viewers if there is that stuff in the presentation.
