Unconventional wisdom: Putting the WHY Before the WHAT of Presentation DesignSheila B. Robinson
This is my second slide deck on presentation design and is designed to complement (and overlap a bit) my first: Data Visualization and Information Design: One Learner's Perspective. This one is in answer to the many questions I've been getting: How do you know this stuff and where did you learn it, and WHY are there all these new rules?
Enjoy!
Since I can't embed fonts on my Mac, I had to convert to pdf. Here are the links that are no longer live in the presentation:

So you want to be a podcaster (Northwestern University Graduate School keynot...Charlie Meyerson
A slightly edited (minus Rivet Radio metrics) version of my presentation to students at The Graduate School's RSG program, March 29, 2016, in Evanston.
A focus on various theories and commentators on digital media. Plus a surprise Andy Warhol slide. Contains tios for incorporating theory into Media Studies essays.
These slides are a summary overview of, in some cases, a few very complex theories. Apologies for the over-simplification.
This resource is designed to be a helpful starting point for further study and revision. It should always be used alongside specific contexts and examples.
It is also intended to persuade skeptics that Media Studies deserve to be taken seriously.

Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

37. More dice ideas
Number each pupil in your class 1-12
Go round again, so in a class of 24 you’ll have two pupils who are number 1 etc
Roll 2 die
The pupils with that number stand up and answer
Divide class into two teams - Ask a question then, if they answer correctly, roll one
dice for number of points
‘cricket’: - roll a dice, then ask a question worth that number of points. So a six
would be a really hard question, a one would be an easy one
