The presentation should be practiced to ensure readability and remove unnecessary elements before presenting.
How to use the PowerPoint slides on my Website
The document provides instructions for using PowerPoint slides from a website as lecture notes. It explains that the slides are designed for presentations, not as complete notes. While slides may list multiple items, they will be discussed one at a time. It recommends saving the slides as an outline or RTF file, editing them in Word by reducing text size and adding diagrams. The notes should then be converted to the Cornell Note format for effective note-taking. This allows students to interact with the material rather than just printing slides. The slides are intended to help the presenter structure class discussions, so students need to use them regularly throughout the term rather than waiting until exams.

Presentation skill on my point of view
PowerPoint presentations are collections of slides used to convey information on a topic. They are commonly used in business meetings, training, and education. Each slide should contain a title and content to contribute to the overall presentation. The main types of slides are title slides, standard content slides, and comparison slides that show two items side by side. PowerPoint allows presentations to be organized and visual, aiding recollection and reducing public speaking nerves compared to traditional methods.

GETTING STARTED WITH SLIDES
Similar to drafting an essay, when creating a PowerPoint®, you need to define your topic and focus, determine your audience, and know your purpose--whether you are informing, educating, entertaining, or persuading.
Another essential step that takes as much time when creating a PowerPoint® as it does when writing an essay is to research your subject matter and prewrite your ideas. A next step is to make an informal outline to organize your ideas and establish a clear beginning middle and end. With the groundwork complete and content prepared, you are ready to create Slide 1.
Slide 1
1. New presentations begin with a title slide. Follow the directions given in the text placeholders beginning with “click to add title” (Figure 2).
2. Then, in the next box, add your subtitle. You may also use this area to provide your name and the university name per APA guidelines or any other information required on your title slide.
3. Since a PowerPoint® accompanies an oral presentation, you may want to add speaker notes in the notes pane to elaborate on the points on each slide.

Effective use of powerpoint as a presentation tool
This document discusses effective use of PowerPoint for presentations. It notes that PowerPoint can engage students but may also disengage them if not used carefully. Potential benefits include engaging multiple learning styles and increasing visual impact, but challenges include presentations being too teacher-centered or lacking feedback. Approaches like using images with limited text or problem-based case studies can make presentations more interactive. Best practices include avoiding reading slides verbatim, focusing attention, and constructing slides with easily readable text and contrast.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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
