Universities should ban PowerPoint — It makes students stupid and professors boring

Universities should ban PowerPoint — It makes students stupid and professors boring –

This is an interesting concept. .. make the students work for their own analysis of the subject…to critique. …to learn and use their own minds… rather than rely on someone else’s view…to actually research for themselves and go to a LIBRARY and read text books and research papers to give their own conclusions of the subject at hand..the use of PowerPoint tends to make a student lazy dependent on the Lecturer and that persons view point, whilst doing their own research will open their eyes to the many different views on all subjects.
