Presentations!

Last class, I had the great fortune to see a plethora of succesful powerpoint presentations occur before my eyes. Out of the many outstanding presenters and slideshows however, two projects really seemed to get their message across. I personally really enjoyed Jessica's and Roxi's powerpoint presentations.
Jessica's powerpoint presentation was on the Hippoi and classical Greek mythology. Not only did she employ a unique and succesful background but also she really seemed to communicate her message well to the audience. Even though I am not a classics major, I felt that I was able to appreciate and respect her work in the study of the Hippoi and trading routes. What I found especially cool was that it was her own theory!
Roxana's presentation on the the formation of vesicles via the coat protein clathrin was a very applicably presentation that I could relate too. As we are both Bio minded people, I not only knew the importance of her topic but also I was able to notice just how masterfully she explained the material. I believe that even non Bio oriented people would have been able to appreciate the importance of vesicle formation after her presentation. I also really liked her animated gif of the clathrin molecule.
The awesome thing about the day was that I could have spoken on any of the presentations seeing as they were all very well done.

  2. You did a great job. I felt that your presentation had the perfect length and you knew how to co nvey your information in words rather than words typed onto a presentation slide. It is great that you chose a topic of heavy concern.
