College professors seldom have specific preparation for classroom teaching
Almost none will have had the extensive training in learning theory and
pedagogy that elementary and secondary teachers receive, or that ESL/EFL
instructors receive in their language acquisition and methodology courses
After a few semesters of on the job training, most professors can handle
run-of-the mill academic situations, but when facing the out-of-the-
ordinary, like an ESL student, college faculty are often at a loss How
should they mark a paper that glaringly misuses articles and verb tenses;

Ten Tips for Effective PowerPoint Presentations
While PowerPoint is an extremely popular program, many PowerPoint
presentations are poorly constructed and delivered These ineffective
presentations often result from poor planning and neglect of some basics
that go into creating any form of communication To avoid putting your
audience to sleep or just boring them with mind-numbing slides, consider
the following tips
1 Determine your purpose
When preparing a presentation, first ask yourself what your general
purpose is: is it to explain, instruct, persuade, or entertain? Then
consider your specific purpose: is it to explain the history of a project,
instruct clients on a new procedure, or persuade them to adopt your
recommendations? Poor presentations often result when no clear purpose has
been determined
2 Identify your audience
Your purpose, of course, is tied closely to the analysis of your
audience Who are these people? What is their background, and what do they
know about your topic? How receptive are they to what you are presenting?
These are just some of the many questions you need to ask before
proceeding
3 Outline and create a storyboard
After you have determined
