Yes I have sat through a boring presentation. The presentations the school gives are pretty boring. The worst one I sat through was, and I won't say his name cause he's someones dad in the school, but he did a presentation for Mrs. Cahalan about going bankrupt or something. THE WORST THING EVER! I think the best ones I have heard are the Bryant and Stratton college they always make theirs fun and hands on. The thing I struggle with when I present something to the class is I can't be still and I get nervous.

Its really hard to watch a presentation that is boring. For example.. I did not even watch half of the video today. Sorry Mrs. Bryant! I was way too tired to sit through something that would put me to sleep. There are more bad video's then there are good ones. There is no doubt in my mind about that. I really cannot think of a good stand out presentation that I have seen right now.

Yes I have sat through a boring presentation.I have seen more bad presentations rather than good presentations.The worst presentation i ever seen is one with all words and no pictures.No I can not think of a really good, stand out presentation I have seen.The most thing I struggle with most when presenting to a class is being shy.
I have sat through plenty of boring presentations. I've seen more bad presentations than good, a lot actually do put me to sleep. The worst one i have seen was about math. The backgrounds were white, it had no sounds or effects and was really, really long. No presentation I've seen has ever really stood out to me, I guess I find them all boring. The hardest thing I have to deal with when I'm presenting is my nerves. I hate getting up in front of people it makes me feel sick.

I've had to sit through many boring presentations. I have seen more boring ones that good ones. One time in middle school this guy that had a monotone voice came to tell us about 'saying no to drugs'. It was so boring, almost everyone in the whole class was asleep by the time he left. A really good presentation that I've seen are all the ones done by Mrs. Bryant. She knows what she's talking about and makes them not too bad :) I am really shy when I don't know people so presenting in class is hard for me.
I have sat through a lot of boring presentation during school. I seen more bad presentations then good ones. I heard a goo presentation from a student this year it was colorful and wasn't boring, because on every slide they had some thing unique pop up! One thing i struggle with is getting nervous and tapping on something or laugh.
I hate when teachers make presentations because most of them are not creative. I don’t think I’ve been through a creative presentation ever. If it isn’t boring most the time the teachers just take it off the internet. During presentations I struggle with everything except speaking well. I’m shy because I don’t like people judging me and so I don’t want them to think I’m stupid.
~Yes, I have sat through boring presentations. I've probably seen more of bad presentations than good. The worse powerpoint I've seen was in my Algebra 1 class in seventh grade. My teacher made an equation into a powerpoint, and had one step per slide. She did not, however type everything, but rather wrote out each step, took a picture of it, and uploaded it to the powerpoint. No really good presentations stand out for me. I mostly struggle with all of the attention on me, because although I'm very open and comfortable with my friends, speaking in big groups is nerve racking.

I have sat through some boring presentations. I have seen more good presentations than bad presentations. One of the worst presentations I have seen was when I was in the 11th grade and we had senior teach day. It was in my VA & US History class, there were these two boys and they said we were gonna watch a presentation and I was thinking that since they were our age it would be better but it wasn't. They talked about stuff that we had no idea about and it was just so boring but it did get better when this one boy in our class had started debating with them about what they had said..That went on forever but it was a little funny. One thing I struggle with the most when presenting to a class in nerves.

Yes I have sat through a boring presentation before. I seen both, good/bad presentations. One of my good presentation that I remember was when I was in english class and I had to do a presentation on the Julius Caesar book. First, I hate when I'm on stage or in the middle of class and everybody is looking at me. I just get shakie and I start to misprenounce my words that I wrote. Even if I'm in a group standing up I still get nurves.

Yes, I have been through some boring presentations. Probably more bad ones then good. I was in a training for 4-H and the presentation was about 4 hours straight and all it was was lists and the leader talked to us, is wasn't interactive at all. I was at a presentation at the YMCA about bullying and that was pretty good, i could tell they spent some time on that. I don't think I struggle with presenting to a class.
I have sat through several boring power points. I have probably seen more bad ones than good ones. The worst one was most likely in Mrs. Waters class where she named and described every single type of vitamin. Ms. Hockaday always has the most interesting slide shows. I usually don't struggle when presenting if i like the subject that my presentation is on.
I am destined to be with boring presentations. :( I see more bad presentations than I do good ones. Once in a blue moon, I might see a good presentation. I can't remember what the topic was for the most boring presentation, but all I can remember is that everybody was pulling their phones out or sleeping. I only saw one good power point. This was a while back, but I know there was a lot of humor and music being used to keep us awake. There was also a part when someone comes up and does something fun. I actually learned something that day.
Yes I have sat through a boring presentation. I seen more of bad presentations then I have seen good. The worst presentation I have ever seen was when someone tried to give us information on I certain topic and they piled all the words they could in just one slide nobody could read it and the only thing I heard was blah blah blah. Well I can say as a teenager the presentation was good because they thought about there audience and even added funny pictures and music we listen to today to explain there information. The one and only thing that I struggle with most when presenting to a class is standing in front of them and actually speaking.
I have sat though a lot of boring presentations! I have so many more bad presentations. The worst video I've sat through is at my old school about math and accounting and all this other stuff I don't care about. I saw a presentation at Duke by the basketball coach I really liked! I get nervous doing a presentation in front of a class.
yes I have sat through a boring presentation. I've seen more boring presentation than interesting ones. The worst presentation I've seen I really couldn't describe because I was falling asleep during it. No presentation really stands out to me. I struggle with most is the students goofing off while I am presenting.
I have sat through millions of boring presentations. The most boring are at school. I can't even think of the most boring presentation.

Yes, I hate boring presentations. I have definitely sat through more boring presentations that entertaining ones. I enjoy real life/ motivational presentations. ZACH CAHALAN
Who hasn't been through a boring presentation?! I have seen more bad presentations than good ones. The worst presentation I have seen would be the ones at the beginning of every year the same thing Mr. Newman and Mrs. Graham do, but hey we are getting out of class. But they make me want to go to sleep. I can't think of a presentation right now that I could listen the whole time. The attention is the hardest cause some are tired in the morning or they are beside there friend.
Yes, I have sat through a boring presentation before. I believe that I've seen more bad presentations than good ones. I would have to say the worst presentation I've sat through would be the last one we had. It just kept dragging on and seemed to never end. However, I believe the topic is the determining factor on whether the presentation is good or not. If it's a boring topic, then usually the presentation is boring. -Josh Cutchins
Yes, i have sat through a boring presentation at school. I have seen more bad than good presentations. The worst presentation that I have seen was when this man was showing these presentation while talking none stop. No, I really can't think of a good presentation that I have seen. I'm very sly and don't like public speaking that is the one thing I struggle with most when presenting to a class.
Yes.Bad presentations. We all had to do a power point presentation for our own business in eight grade and we had a total of two weeks to work on it and half of the students didn't even finish. THe most stand out presentation is the one me and my friends did for that project we had clear detailed pictures, good grammer,and our work meet the requirements of the teacher. The one thing I struggle with when presenting to the class is speaking.
Yeah, I sit through a boring presentation everyday. I have seen more bad presentations then good for sure. The worst ones I have seen are the ones that have no pictures and have no color. I struggle the most with getting the courage to stand up in front of the class. Making the presentation is never a problem for me.
That was totally awesome. No, but forreal it won't that bad. It must of took some time. Obviously someone has to much time on their hands. I couldn't do all that.

I have sat threw alot of them. I've seen more bad presentations. I struggle presenting to a class im not used to
Yes, I have sat through many boring presentations. The most exciting presentations I have sat through would be Mrs. Bryant's presentations. They are always fun and exciting. The worst one, I can't really think of the worst one, but i have sat through a million boring ones! I struggle with getting up and even presenting. I hate so much presenting. I hate getting up in front of everybody with them looking at you and everybody is quiet. I hate that! Also, I don't like making eye contact. I can read directly off of something as long as eye contact is not included.
Yes i have sat through boring presentations. I have been in more bad presentations than good presentations. The worst one I saw was a research presentation that was on a slide with no pictures and background.
I have sat through many boring presentations. I have seen about half or good presentations and half bad. The worst one's that I have seen were my biology PowerPoint's. I would have to write down a lot of information about nothing almost everyday. I think the best PowerPoint I have ever sat through was the one in middle school when we were encouraged with incentives to do well on our sols. When sitting through presentations that are super boring, I fall asleep or something of that matter.
I absolutely hate bad presentations. They are boring and put me to sleep. Most presentations I've seen have been boring. Most presentations that teachers make aren't very good because they're usually trying to teach something. I think that presentations that are short and have some kind of interaction are the best.
I have sat through many boring presentations in school . I hate borring presentations , they give me a migrane . They also make me very sleepy . I had to set through one the other day . It was in Mrs. Mise class , we had a lady speak to us about what we are doing after college . I cant help it if i fall asleep , they should atleast try to make their powerpoints a little more interesting .
Ugh! The worst thing anyone has to put up with is a boring power-point! No one pays attention and it just gives the presenter a bad look because they put their audience to sleep. For the most part, I've seen a fair amount of good power-points. But for the most part I usually see some pretty awful power-points.
The worst power-point that I think that I have ever seen was in the ninth grade. It had absolutely no color and there was nothing but piles of unneeded information. It was at least an hour long and I was so glad to get out of the auditorium!
It's a rarity to see an awesome power-point. The best power-point I believe that I have seen was last year. Yes, it's contradicting to my other comment. But I take a ton of computer classes, so I get to sit through a ton of these things. It was very eye-catching and there was a ton of up-to-date music playing. To say the least, it got everyone's attention.
One of the major things that I struggle with in presenting to a class is speaking. That's why I'm taking classes next year with Speech Fundamentals and Leadership Seminars. I want to be the best presenter that I can possibly be!
