All of the twelve students who presented their PowerPoint slideshows today discussed very different and interesting topics. I was truly impressed by the command that each person had over their topic and the amount of detail on each slide to support their verbal presentation. The two presentations that I liked best were Esha's "Scientific Degradation of a Progressive Diseases: Alzheimer’s" and Kim's "Dante's Guides" slideshow.
I thought Esha's backgrounds were really effective at subtly highlighting the important role of the brain in Alz
heimer's disease in addition to the verbal information she discussed. I also like the way that the bright colors in the backgrounds were well-coordinated with the text and textboxes. She approached her topic from various angles: covering the known signs, tests, and treatments as well as providing The Nun Study example and relevant statistics. This approach helped me to get a better understanding about Alzheimer's disease, which is a huge concern in the medical field today.
Kim's presentation, on the other hand, appealed to my less scientific interest of classic literature. I had read Dante's Inferno twice in high school, and both times I
was impressed by its allegorical symbolism and effective style. However, Kim's presentation taught me a lot. Her use of pictures to depict Virgil's and Beatrice's role in the comedy was really creative; it would not have occurred to me to find symbolism in the pictures, but this approach helped me better understand both Virgil's significance and how meaningful Beatrice was to Dante. Kim used a variety to tools to illustrate her topic including pictures, quotes, and a video, which was a creative way to appeal to everyone's learning styles. I also liked how the dark backgrounds complimented both the black-and-white pictures and the notable dark undertone present in the novel. Moreover, the transitions in the PowerPoint were seamless. My favorite part of her presentation was the delivery. She did a great job of using narration to communicate her topic, which was narrative.

I thought that your presentation was among one of the better one's. It eloquently explained the importance of understanding the octopus with cool graphics and interesting animations.
