Powerpoint is making students stupid and boring professors: We have to stop him.

Do you really believe that looking at a lecturer reading hundreds of PowerPoints makes you smarter?

I asked this question to a class of 105 computer science and software engineering students last semester. In the article on “The Conversion” argued that universities should stop PowerPoint because it makes students of fools and professors boring, it translates Periscope.

I fully agree. Most universities, however, ignore this wise advice because rather than measure success with what students learn, they measure success with the satisfaction of students, among other things.

What makes PowerPoint so bad?

Overreached support in '%slede has contributed to the absurd belief that expecting students to read books, participate in courses, take notes, and do tasks is unreasonable.

The courses designed in newsrooms thus propagate shit that students can destroy and become more knowledgeable without working on dozens of books, hundreds of articles, and thousands of problems.

A review on PowerPoint found that while students liked this teaching platform, it actually did not raise learning or grades. To like one thing, doesn't make it effective.

Comparative research into teaching based on ésleshydeʹ against other methods such as learning based on problems where students develop knowledge and ingenuity by confronting real problems predominously supports alternative methods.

PowerPoints are poisonous for education for three main reasons:

1. They disqualify thinking in a complex way.

2. The student's reading assessment has convinced me that when most courses are based on ésalade, students think of the course only as a string of ésalades. Good professors who present realistic complexity and ambition are criticized as unclear.

3. The Slavics” discuss reasonable expectations. When I used PowerPoint, the students expected the slides to contain every detail needed for projects, tests, and tasks. Why would a person waste his time reading a book or going to class when they can just take it from the slates to their own pajamas at home?

Coping With Wrong Things

If the slats are so bad, then why are they so popular?

Universities measure student satisfaction but do not measure their learning.

Hospitals measure disease and mortality. Corporations measure income and profit. Governments measure unemployment and production growth. Even portals measure access. But universities do not measure students ' learning, for which they exist.

When we start measuring lessons, the results won't be good. American researchers found that a third of American students had not achieved any teaching during four years of study.

They tested the students first, between the end of their studies. But the results were poor.
