A professional hazard of being a teacher, is you grow to enjoy the sound of your own voice (and opinions).
That is the reason I started this blog...to have my say without paining my poor students.

But some members of our faculty are not aware of this hazard. We have an elderly gentleman with years of administrative experience, but new to teaching. This person has taken up the crusade of "imparting knowledge" (his words, believe me) to all of us fellow faculty members. A good thought, but painful.
However, the problem is that he has probably discovered power points recently and with the zeal of a new convert, is lavish in its use. He has given us a talk (no-- two talks one after the other) inwhich he has downloaded/written pages of text on the life of an eminent person (each). This text he has put on slides, projected it on an LCD screen, stood at the dais and read out the whole text for 45 minutes (for each presentation).
Gross misuse of ppt.
I hope no one introduces him to MS excel. He may write letters on excel....
