{PowerPoint}

Microsoft PowerPoint is a great program that can be used in a variety of ways at home, at work, or at school. However, people don't always utilize PowerPoint to their advantage, and their presentations can come off as being unprofessional, annoying, or disorganized. Here are five things that really bug me about poorly constructed PowerPoint:
1) Bad transistions: Sometimes people's transistions are ineffective. They can be distracting or they just don't make sense for the content. If you're doing a serious buisness presentation, you probably shouldn't include a windmill transistion or something really casual.
2) Lack of variety: Sometimes professors use the same slides for every single lecture, and I think that can get really old. There are so many fun things you can do with excel, so why do you intentionally make it so boring?
3) Too much information: Sometimes people can try and cram too much information onto one slide. Everything you know shouldn't be on a slide. Slides are simply for talking points or for notes. You should expand on your slides using your presentation.
4) Obnoxious patterns/colors: Neon colored slides, really crazy fonts, or TONS of color can just be obnoxious and it really takes away from the content when my eyes are hurting from all your crazy accents.
5) No graphics: Use graphics in your PowerPoints! It helps us understand your points and brings an exciting visual aspect to the presentation!

PowerPoint can be used in a lot of great ways for buisness presentations, notes in class, and lectures. If people try to avoid those five things they will probably be better users of PowerPoint!
