Class Presentations

All the powerpoints presented in class were just marvelous. They were all informative, and nicely made. I think that everyone understood the concepts behind good design and presentation of information using powerpoints. Though it was super hard to choose just two, my favorite powerpoint presentations were Ashely's and Brian's.

Ashely did her presentation on Antioxidants in food, which is great because I don't think enough people know about the great things that antioxidants do for you! Great topic! One thing that I really liked was the fruit background. I could tell that she made it fade a little, so it wasn't too intense-just a subtle display of her topic. Also, as far as contents go, the bullets did a good job summarizing the important parts of the points she described. She didn't just read from the presentation, and she surely told me some facts that I didn't know. For example, I didn’t know the blueberries had a lot of antioxidants! I'm so glad she told me that because now, after I heard that, I usually eat blueberries with my breakfast. The presentation also had a nice consistency of designs (text on the left and the pictures pointing inward on the right). It was nicely put together, and I learned about antioxidants. Thank you Ashley.

Also, I really liked Brian's. He did his on the LSAT (Law School Administration Test). I don't really know anything about the field of law and how one pursues it, so I was interested right from the start to learn something I didn't know. One point of interest is the music that he played in the background. It sounded serious and business-like, and it was appropriate for the presentation. It wasn't distracting, and it added to the mood. Good choice. Also, what I found really nice was at the beginning, before the first slide came up, there was a sound of that thing that judges pound to create order in the court. It caught my attention and had the class ready to listen. It was a very good idea! I didn't know a lot about the LSAT, and I learned the components that make it up and general information about it. He covered the general basis of the test, and it was a great presentation. Good luck Brian, for when you take it!

(I also have to give "best animation award" to Angel and "best background award" to Rishi).

Awesome job to everyone! Thanks for all that great information!
