      Although I agree with this statement in theory, but I feel that verbally giving the answer may not register with some viewers - those who are aural learners will pick up, whereas many of my students didn't understand, till the answer was visually displayed and then re-explained.
      So, when I ask a question in one slide, I not only explain this verbally, but follow-up with the answer displayed on a subsequent slide. Although this may be boring for those who have understood, the majority (who didn't) now got the point - which is what is the purpose of having the PowerPoint session, in the first place. It shouldn't be a brand-building exercise, but an attempt to transfer knowledge.

      @@abdullah.a.nahyan Actually, personally, I don't believe in giving any handouts. My maxim is: Say what you want to say (in the class itself) or else your presentation is incomplete. All doubts should be resolved, while both the student and the lecturer are present. In fact, I encourage my students to make their own notes, based on their own understanding - I don't want them to just mug-up stuff from a handout (which is usually the case, when one is given). But this is only my personal opinion...😉

You don't have to show that info, but if you need it due to a glitch you always have it for reference - you may forget your yellow sticky with the info but you always have the PPT.

    I’ve learned to use slides as a visual representation to support what people are saying. They should tell a visual story with the oral story of the presenter.
    I really try to avoid bullet points but they are necessary sometimes.
    Too much animation needs to be avoided too.

    I loved the video. It’s exactly what I teach my clients. Based on this and some of your other videos, I’d say that our approaches to slides are very similar. Which is why I am curious about one thing. You sometimes seem to use the word “presentation” as a synonym for “slide deck”. For example “... PowerPoint presentation...” I know that almost everyone does the same, but I feel that this reinforces the misconception that the sides are the presentation, i.e. they need to contain everything and be a document that is self explanatory. I would argue that the slides should not make sense without the presenter delivering them and the follow-up document should. Which I think you describe as the “neighbor test” and you seem to be advocating too. This is why I keep insisting with my clients that they use the word “presentation” for something that is much bigger (a presenter delivering a talk and using slides as visual support for what is being said) and that they call the visual support, if it comes in the shape of slides, a “slide deck” or just “slides”. I wander what your thoughts on this are. Thanks in advance and have a lovely weekend.
