    Right. Why can't we see the slides? It's like a wedding where no one can see the bride.

    Why do you not show the slideshow that is an integral part of his presentation? Even inserted in a corner would be better than not shown at all.

    Good presentation with lots of interesting information. However, I feel compelled to join the chorus line of those that point out the obvious weakness of these UA-cam videos not giving the viewer at home a look at the visual aids the speaker is using. I know resources are limited but it certainly would be greatly helpful if the camera could be manned with a person to shift the camera to the slide show as necessary. If that idea doesn't seem practical perhaps you guys could ask the speaker for a copy of his/her slides that could be added at the end of these presentation videos.f It would be better than nothing. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!

    • @ltrain4479
      @ltrain4479 6 років тому +3

      M Hohstadt I dont think so. All they have to do is zoom out the camera and pan over a little bit. That is what they did up until this years lecture series.

    IMO- Although the speaker shows great potential, he needs a little more experience in public speaking. Too often he speaks toward the wall and not the people. Also the lip smacking is annoying. It would also be nice if we could see the slides. I'll go to something else.
