PowerPoints

From the first round of presentations, my two favorites thus far have been Noelle’s and Melissa’s. Noelle’s presentation on Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex was a perfect 5 out of 5 in my book, because it had it all. Starting with her first slide, I just knew it would be a quality PowerPoint display. I especially liked the lightning-bolt animation (gif) that she used on the first, opening slide that really showed her craft. Following this, she stayed very organized and consistent with her color scheme and kept the information very organized and easy to follow. Also, her use of pictures throughout the presentation was very helpful and added another layer to her description of Rex. Melissa’s presentation on TandemHeart was another perfect 5 out of 5 in my book. I was blown away by all of the amazing information that was presented about the TandemHeart and medical field in general. Right off the bat, she used an amazing interactive pacemaker animation (gif) and heart beat sound to go along with it. Both of these things got me hooked on anything and everything she had to say after that. Moving on, she stayed consistent with the black background and white font, as well as avoiding clutter all together by moderating her information from slide to slide. Overall, the presentations were excellent and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store!
