Presentation Comments

Danielle- I thought her presentation was very inclusive and provided factual information as well as tips for a healthier lifestyle. I do not have any suggestions.

Alex- I thought the presentation on Da Vinci was interesting and her theme reflected the subject well.

Bruce- His presentation on the egyptian pyramids was very imformative and provided absic background information. It was structured so that it was easily understood.

Stephanie- I think Stephanie's presentation was the most interesting just because the field itself is very exciting and I admire her for pursuing such a challenging career.

Jamila- The presentation reflected her personal life and academic career simultaneously which I think is difficult to convey in a powerpoint. But she did it!

Ekow- Some of the techonological terms kind of confused me but he did try to explain them and the aids were very helpful.

The In's and Out's of a Computer

Unfortunately I was not present for what I hear was a very interesting presentation by Mr. Hechler. I was told by some classmates that the talk was very instructive. He talked about the difference between Macs and PC's which I ahd never understood before. Another really important thing he mentioned was how to clean a computer screen. I think this was one of the things I paid the most attention to because my labtop screen is always dirty. At least we all know one person that we can seek out if we have any questions regarding which new computer we should buy!

Ed Pratt and Pfizer

My presentation on April 8th, will be on International Business Major Edmund Pratt, JR. who attended Wharton School of Business and has now become an extremely important figure in the World economy. I will give reasons why I chose him and I how him being an INternational Business Major helped Pfizer.

Tips for a Good Powerpoint

We have been working with powerpoints for a while now in class and we are now able to come up with tips that will hopefully keep others from making mistakes on their own presentations:

1)The powerpoint should be an aid not the presentation itself
2)Visually attractive but not distracting
3)Only the important information should be provided
4)Limit number of bullets
5)Appropriate use of images, sounds and other effects
6)Maintain a constant theme and background

Mr. Nolan Presentation

Mr. Nolan came to our class to give a presentation on ways to use the internet in order to perform research. I think what helped me the most about his presentation was that he showed us how to use the Advanced Search on Google which I never used before but would come in very handy seeing as how Google ismy main search engine.

PowerPoint

So I use powerpoints all the time. At my high school they were a big Deal, HUge deal! The first thing I remember being told is to save the colors and decorations for poster board. So in my opinion, a good powerpoint is one that has just enough style to show effort, but at the same time it should be professional and formal. It should be an aid, used to point out the most important points of a presentation or just to help the audience follow along. Therefore, it should have a small amount of information: only the vital text. Images, charts and graphs should also be put on the powerpoints to keep the audiences interest. my professors use them all the time to highlight the most important points or outline of their lectures. They also use this kind of presentation to give instructions or show a slideshow of images. Being able to use powerpoint effectively is in my opinion extremely important for the "real world" and something you should get on top of learning ASAP.
