Presentations

If there is one thing that has come up in every course I have attended in this school, it is presentations. Seems like power point and students talking is a common teaching method nowadays. It seems to me, that where presentations make students look for the information themselves, they might learn it better. But sometimes I feel like you learn only the part you have to present. Other student's vain explanations doesn’t give enough concrete information.

No matter how much I hate speaking front of the class room I can't say it is useless. If there is something media have not been able to fake it is voice. We can manipulate image, lights, basic sounds. But real human voice and good speech, that is something we can't fake. After all, you need real people to make media. This is very small thing to realize but think it is quite common to miss. People can wear make up or even do surgeries to make themselves beautiful but only way to make your voice believable is to practice.
