Secondly, here are some notes about what I was looking for while marking:
- Having different styles for each and every slide isn't the best design choice - you want your presentation to appear unified, not haphazard!
- Few people got the mark for the footer - either people tried to use the View Header and Footer feature (which doesn't work very well - it only puts the current slide number...or doesn't autonumber at all if you use the Footer selection, as some of you did) or did not attempt the question. What I wanted you to do was View the Slide Masters and make the proper changes to the Number Area of the Slide and/or Title Masters.
- Considering that I gave explicit warning about the topic, I was pretty strict about wordiness in slides - ideally, you're going to be using brief points most of the time...I still saw quite a few slides with long sentences or even paragraphs used.
- I was also pretty strict with the format for references - you were given all the examples you needed right on the assignment, so I wasn't too forgiving about any deviation.
- All in all, the class performed quite well - a bit above my averages in the past.
