MODERATORS
And the presenter will regularly quiz attendees on the content
Not quiz as such. More like “any questions so far?” at the end of each slide, but will not give you time to ask anything “no? Ok, moving on”
Or the awkward 5 minutes of silence when no one has a question at all.
Add to that going back 2-3 slides every 5mins and you get my professor at uni. Watching his classes was actual torture
At university, I had a lecturer who took this one step further. Instead of a power point, he used a word document that he read word by word.
legere (lat) to read => lectura (lat) the reading event => lecture (en) => lecturer (en) a person giving/hosting a reading event.
A lecturer is supposed to read the text of a book to students so that they are able to write it down and obtain a copy of it for themselves.
Books written by professional scribes are incredible expensive, and this new thing they established in Bologna in 1088 – the so called "universities" offering lectures will be a major breakthrough in the history of mankind to distribute knowledge!
Good to know some professors still honour the only true way of teaching.

Does this still happen, with digital and all?
Bruder ...
If the lecturer hasn't got the notice books can be cheaply printed and purchased nowadays, probably yes. What is this digital your speeking of?
Oh no my kid's school just texted me he got a fever I have to go. Hate to miss the presentation, can you post the slides in chat after? Thx!
can you post the slides in chat after?
Can you post the highlights in chat after?
Someone who gives a presentation like this is incapable of summarizing - you will be getting the full presentation.
Fuck you. Nothing to do with your comment. just because of good etiquette
The comic strip sounds like someone made a plugin to export obsidian vaults to .pptx
This comic strip sounds like a 20 year-old Dilbert comic with all the wit removed.
My best presentation at university was during a small seminar. It was a 45min talk about 3 papers and how they relate to each other. I procrastinate a lot, so I didn't really do anything besides reading those papers until the day before my presentation. That day, a friend called for a spontaneous barbecue, so I had just an odd hour to actually prepare slides. I managed 8 slides in total, the rest I just impromptu recalled from memory. People liked it and it was the least effort I put in any talk I held at university.
Honestly, that's the right way to do it if you really know your stuff.
The slides are there as a visual aid or backdrop. The "presenter notes" is where all your bulleted items and prompts for recollection go.
Also, and this is where a lot of people get it wrong, the slide deck is NOT a useful document for distribution. It is specific to both the subject matter and speaker; it's analogous to sheet music. A video of the presentation (e.g. TED) is far more useful as we're really talking about a performance. At worst, there should be "references" page in some appendix, with hyperlinks to actual media that folks can digest on their own time.
I'll never forget the one professor who put up a side of code... And had no idea what the class was about. We spent most of the class reading together with him to try to figure out what the lesson was supposed to be about
Apparently the guy was one of those crazy low-level guys who can do things I don't understand but build on top of. Guy just constantly looked bewildered by reality, he belonged in the code world
So what was the lesson supposed to be about?
"sometimes it's okay to skip class"
