In most cases, power point presentations are not helpful only because the presenter always puts way too much information onto one slide. I was always taught in speech classes to only put key points onto powerpoint slides so they can be read. That is why it is called a "power point." I dont understand why all these doctorate professors and students just don't get the point, literally. It's not like anyone can tell the presenter what to put in his slides. So most often, the student/audience loses, but so does the presenter because no one will read the slides with too much pointless information.
