And the presenter will regularly quiz attendees on the content

Not quiz as such. More like “any questions so far?” at the end of each slide, but will not give you time to ask anything “no? Ok, moving on”

Or the awkward 5 minutes of silence when no one has a question at all.

Add to that going back 2-3 slides every 5mins and you get my professor at uni. Watching his classes was actual torture

One of my teachers at uni used a Word document instead of a presentation. And yes, he still read it word for word. It was like a very shitty audiobook

Like bro, i’m almost sure the professor will post the pp online. You dont have to copy the presentation… take shorthand notes…

Bob The Boomer may have been passive-aggressively trolling the presenter. “I’m not in here with you, you’re in here with me” kind of thing.

At university, I had a lecturer who took this one step further. Instead of a power point, he used a word document that he read word by word.

legere (lat) to read => lectura (lat) the reading event => lecture (en) => lecturer (en) a person giving/hosting a reading event.

A lecturer is supposed to read the text of a book to students so that they are able to write it down and obtain a copy of it for themselves.

Books written by professional scribes are incredible expensive, and this new thing they established in Bologna in 1088 – the so called “universities” offering lectures will be a major breakthrough in the history of mankind to distribute knowledge!

Good to know some professors still honour the only true way of teaching.

Pfff this generation is wasting good expensive sheets of paper when good old oral tradition has worked for thousands of years. Writing was invented only 4000 years ago and still haven’t caught on.

If the lecturer hasn’t got the notice books can be cheaply printed and purchased nowadays, probably yes. What is this digital your speeking of?

Someone who gives a presentation like this is incapable of summarizing - you will be getting the full presentation.

It’s even more fun when your manager makes you do a presentation. And he schedules it at 10pm, so that all the people 12 timezones away can attend at their “morning time.”

But they don’t even bother to join the zoom. The only people attending are also in your timezone up way later than they want to be. And he’s like “it’s ok, we’ll record it for them.” Like wtf.

And then they go and do stupidass incorrect shit anyway, whether they watched the recording or not.
