The document summarizes several issues with over reliance on and misuse of PowerPoint in classroom presentations. It notes that PowerPoint can distract from course content and discussion when it focuses too much on graphics and animations rather than substance.

Too much PowerPoint can waste time and money while oversimplifying concepts and reducing critical thinking as students become passive receivers of already processed information.
