I am currently in college right now. I ...Hey Brad,<br /><br />I am currently in college right now. I attend a four-year private, liberal arts school and I have sat through many presentations by my fellow students.<br /><br />What you are seeing is the norm now no matter where you look. Powerpoint gets a bad rap even though it is a VERY powerful piece of software, it just comes down to a user. As a person who has more or less just recently come out of high school, I can tell you the abilities of PP are never explored in public schools beyond the most basic 'insert text' and 'insert pictures' stuff. No one teaches the tech so no one knows how to use it.<br /><br />Secondly, I don't know exactly what kind of presentations you were viewing, but knowing college kids, I can say with almost 100% confidence that 90% of the presentations were put together the night before. And this is not because the students were real busy with other school work, but 50% of kids will take EVERY OPPORTUNITY they can get to drink alcohol. Everyone knows college kids drink, but I really don't think a lot of people understand how bad it is. No, they just don't drink on weekends, they usually drink Monday nights and wednesday nights, and not just a little, but blackout drunk. I am not an abolitionist, I enjoy a good IPA now and then, but I have to admit I would characterize the problem as nearly out of control.<br /><br />So it is not that they are illiterate, although some actually may be, it is the fact that these people just do not put the time into their work to make it presentable. You can see this everywhere. They would rather party than do their work, and they complain when they have to do any amount of work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344154890660372272noreply@blogger.com
