What does a good PowerPoint presentaiton really look like?

Hello!
My class saw Rowan Monahan's presentation Dodging Bullets in Presentations this monday. The presentation was about Dodging Bullets and how to creat a good Powerpoint presentation. He had some thougths and I am going to answer some questions for this week about that;

What are his thoughts?
His thought is that we should not write too many bullets point or too many words in a presentation. Example if I have a presentation about dimond. I should take a picture and 1-3 words witch descibe the picture. Example a picture of a diamond and a word like clarity witch is describing the picture of the diamond.We should also have some colourfull words and headlines, because we dont want to bore the audience. So remember: use few words and dont use Dodging Bullets in a presentation! If you follow the recipe will you have a relly good presentation.

What do you think? What does a good PowerPoint presentation look like?
I think that a good presentation just looks like Rowan Monahan describes it. I mean a presentation with a lot of pictrues, 1-3 words witch describes the picture and few words. Sometime can it happen that you forget what you have to say, then you sholud write some notes, you can write it in the end of the presentation page. (Powerpoint)

 Have you ever been present at a really good presentation? What made it such a good presentation? 
Hmm..yes, in 7th grade. A girl had about Obama and she presentated it very good. I think the presentation was relly good because she only used pictures, discribe the pictures by her own words and she didn't read anything, she told us about Obama by her own words. She didn't used Dodging Bullets at all..

Copy, paste... and cheat?

Hey!
  Alright I am going to answer some questions aboute copy, pasting and cheating. Actually I think that this topic is intresting.

Why do you think so many students cheat on their exams and papers ("oppgaver")?
I think that studens cheat because they dont want to get the exame or the paper with bad grades. I mean they think that if they cheat will they got the right answer, and if they dont cheat will it go over their whole carrier. I think that every mistakes or bad

answer on any paper or exam, will learn us      something.
Example: if I have a test and I have to write ''Neighbours'' and I write ''Neiboors'' will I get a wrong answer, but after have understand the mistake will I remember that  have to wrie ''Neighbours'' not ''Neiboors''. Like I said, every mistakes in our lives will learn us something.

What is the difference between plagiarizing and quoting?
Plagiarizing is taht you copy a text from anything and wrtie it down. That is bad, because you don't learn something and you don't use your words. If write a text you have copy from the internet, and you got a ''A'' on it will you get an exellent text, but the bad thing is that you haven't write it. Quoting is to use text but wrtie it on you own word.                  

Why is it so important to name your sources?
It is important to use sources because then can your teacher or someone else see that you dont have copy or cheat. Example if you have written a text and wrote the source too, can you teacher click on it and see that you are not cheating.
