Week 13

Alrighty, for me doing a lot of research on this project really gave me a lot of insight on how to construct this project and I ended up using several sources. I think that PowerPoint should not be overloaded with too much text and a bunch of numbers with nothing to back them up with. I think that is a common mistake that people make when constructing PowerPoint presentations and a common mistake is information overload. Next time when I do a PowerPoint presentation I think I would do a more detailed outline. Also the saying "Less is more" applies here because I didn't feel the need to create a flashy presentation because I think that takes the attention about what the presentation is about. The whole point of a PowerPoint presentation is to inform the audience and not to entertain them. Some people might disagree but that is my stance on it. I also think that putting together a PowerPoint presentation is also similar to writing research papers, you have to put a lot of information and thought into what you're trying to say. In the future I will definitely not be reading all the information of the slides like I have done in the past, not cram so much information onto slides and try to interact with the audience. I also think that when constructing a PowerPoint you have put yourself in the place of the audience and try seeing things from that angle. Cheers
