I hate when the presenter reads back to me what is on the slide. The slides is context that the presenter should elaborate on. We can all read what is on the slide.
When I used to teach at IBM, one of my favourite bits of recurring feedback was that I only use slides as a guide. It is the presenter's job to give context, which allows you to read the audience and go on anecdotal excursions when you know they're receptive to it, and it'll help them retain any new bits of knowledge. Some audiences are already familiar with bits of the material, so why batter them over the head with it just because you decided to spell it out verbatim in the visual material? Besides, reading the screen to the audience means you aren't paying enough attention to them to even know what parts they may be struggling with.
Interesting - One of the things we teach is that we don't want our people competing with the slides, so if you want to put up a quote to expand upon it, first you have to read the quote - otherwise, you're talking and people are reading
I also hate “well you can read the slide”. Now I feel I need to speed read the damn thing as it could be whipped away at any minute. Also can everyone read that font size?
