I found the articles on how to give a good power point presentation very interesting. They made me realize that i always put far too much information on the slides and let them give the presentation instead of myself. I think all students should be careful not to overload their presentations and instead focus on what they will be saying and how to make the slides look organized and appealing. I found the following five guidelines to be very helpful:
1) The articles mentioned to never use the pre-designed PowerPoint templates because they are over used and will be boring to the audience.
2) According to "Really Bad PowerPoint" presenters should never use more that six words per slide. "EVER"
3) Another thing all the articles mentioned and something I find very annoying when used in presentations is the use of obnoxious transitions such as spins or complicated dissolves
4) PowerPoint clip art and sound effects also look/sound "cheesy" and degrade the level of one's presentation
5) Finally I think it is important to remember that text should be at least 28 points and keep color schemes that are appealing and legible

Hey Luisa, great job on your presentation. I really liked that you kept the slides simple and had a common theme throughout the presentation. You picked a unique topic and I honestly never knew very much about the drug wars so I enjoyed learning more from your presentation.
