  • Perfecting English grammar can be a long process; this fact should not prevent students from diving into writing, regardless of their level of grammatical proficiency. Requiring students to focus constantly on grammar, and not on writing, is like requiring the novice home cook to focus constantly on knife skills, never allowing him or her to cook a meal.

    For a writing class with initial enrollment in the tens of thousands, as well as for a class with enrollment in the teens, Sokolik advocated "approaching writing as a method of inquiry, discovery and expression" (Acitve Learning, ¶1), and said she had identical goals, namely for students "to write well, to engage with ideas in meaningful ways and to write in a way to attract a wider audience" (Active Learning, ¶4).

  • PowerPoint can be tedious. Some presenters pack slides with data, graphs and text, which are often hard to read. Some speakers actually turn their backsides toward the audience, to read aloud from their slides. I don’t advise it.

  • Despite its flaws and frequent abuses, PowerPoint can add significant value to a talk when it is not misused.
  • One of my dirty little secrets is that without it, I am likely to lose my place while speaking.
  • But there’s another reason to include it. PowerPoint can be a great supplement to your talk. I use it to illustrate the stories I tell in the same way photos enhance the articles and blogs I publish.
  • I’m a minimalist on text. If I use bullet points, there are usually only one-to-five words per bullet and the font is large enough to read from the back of the room. When I click to a new slide, I pause and let people view it for a moment.
