Using PowerPoint for Good and Not for Evil
Problems With PowerPointInstructors tend to write every single word of their presentation in their PowerPoint slides.  This makes it difficult for the students to pay attention and also to concentrate on the message.  Of course, this helps the instructor because it makes it easier to memorized the lecture while at the same time allow him or her not to face the students (which may cause panic).  Nevertheless, this tend to cause the students to get…..
Problems With PowerPointbored out of their mind.

Shifting Demand and Supply CurvesSuppose that an increase in the demand for a particular good arises.  What happens to equilibrium?Demand increases shifting the demand curve up, out, and to the right.At the original equilibrium price, excess demand exists in the market.Buyers will drive up the price to outbid other buyers for this shortage.As the price rises, quantity supplied rises.The price and quantity will continue to rise until equilibrium is reached.In a free market, the equilibrium price will adjust rather quickly.

Editor's Notes

  • #2: These slides were created byJose J. VazquezAssistant Director of Teaching and Learning CenterUniversity of Texas at San AntonioSan Antonio, TX 78249Jose.vazquez@utsa.edu210-458-7504
  • #6: Now and then the narrow bandwidth of lists presented on computer screens and bullet points on PowerPoint slides is said to be a virtue, a claim justified by loose reference to George Miller's classic 1956 paper "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two." That essay reviews psychological experiments that discovered people had a hard time remembering more than about 7 unrelated pieces of really dull data all at once. These studies on memorizing nonsense then led some interface designers to conclude that only 7 items belong on a list or a slide, a conclusion which can be sustained only by not reading the paper. In fact Miller's paper neither states nor implies rules for the amount of information to be shown in a presentation (except possibly for slides that consist of nonsense syllables that the audience must memorize and repeat back to a psychologist). Indeed, the deep point of Miller's paper is to suggest strategies, such as placing information within a context, that extend the reach of memory beyond tiny clumps of data. George A. Miller, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information," Psychological Review, 63 (1956), 81-97 here.
