Criminal Law and Mediocrity

I'm in criminal law now and Oh. My. God. it. is. so. b.o.r.i.n.g.

I have one main gripe about people presenting.

It is beyond me how you can go and stand up there, mike in hand, powerpoint slides majestically gracing your background, and just drone on. and. on. and. on. And talk like you've assumed everyone is asleep Already. WTH! Do you not realize you are boring the entire class to the end of their wits? As a matter of fact, you can't even be accorded the honour of having bored them because to bore people, there must at least be an attempt on their part to pay attention in the first place. Here, people don't even try. In fact, we aren't bored. We're just unengaged and disinterested.

I don't understand how people can be so lacadaisical in their approach to presentations.

Do you not have any pride in your speech? Any sense of wanting to engage your audience, make sure you're not creating a hell hole of boredom and Mediocrity in your presentation? Apparently not.

Good Grief.
