Truth.

Nothing irritates me more than students who give presentations in my classes with powerpoint and think their presentation is somehow deserving of a higher grade because they went to the trouble of adding all sorts of transitions, etc.

Problem is there is a teacher in my department who gives her kids extra credit for that kind of stuff...because you know, that is what a good science education is about...powerpoint effects.

I gave an ironically over the top powerpoint presentation in my art seminar. Being art students, everyone else had been tasteful and restrained in their presentations, but I thought "that's not what powerpoint is about - it's about clashing backgrounds, comic sans, pointless graphs, pie charts, transitions and horrible clip art" and that's what I gave them.

At first it was pretty uncomfortable because they thought it was just genuinely quite bad, then one guy had a little laugh and people started to realise it was a piss-take. By the time I brought in the flying crossroads art I had them all laughing and clapping. Easily the best presentation or talk I've ever done.
