PowerPoint Presentations

My two favorite presentations were Roxi's and Brandon's. I liked their presentations mainly because both of them are good speakers. The actual speaking part is more important to me than what is on the slides. A good speaker can make a bad presentation good and bad speaker can make a good one bad. The information on the slides and the overall layout of the slides was excellent in each of these presentations. The topics, vesicles and planetary geology, were interesting and quite original. These ones stood out to me the most, but the every other presenation had its strength. I would like to say that I remember each presentation in detail, but when you hear 13 of them in an hour, it's hard to remember the specifics. I think this adds to the strenght of these two presenations, considering the way they presented and not what they presented stood out to me. When I did the evalution form, I said that each presentaion was simple yet effective. I think people get in trouble when they have too much going on in their presentations. Brandon and Roxi definately used a good balance of clear facts and animation.
