Powerpoint Presentations

I was most impressed by Andrew Gill's presentation as he skillfully used his PowerPoint presentation to hold the attention of the class and highlight certain aspects of his topic that he thought were especially relevant to the discipline of finance. Moreover, Andrew applied the fundamentals of finance to illustrate the long-term payoff of a college education versus the return from investing an equal amount of resources in other areas (i.e., the bonds, the stock market). Finally, Andrew selected a unique font which distinguished his PowerPoint slides from the others in the class which used the default font.

Ellie Lippard's presentation was also impressive. Ellie personalized her presentation by invoking her Uncle who was a famous broadcast journalist in San Antonio. She further connected here Uncle's experiences to her own ambitions to become a journalist. The design of her slides was also outstanding. Ellie did not try to cram too much material on any one slide; moreover, she used a consistent color scheme which made her powerpoint appear professional.
