Teaching without PowerPoint: the pros of drawing diagrams with students
Problems arise in lessons due to transient information, which occurs when information appears and then disappears (Wong et al. 2012). This is common with the presentation of slide decks. A crucial image is shown but vanishes when the teacher moves to the next slide. This puts pressure on the student to retain all the aspects in mind while connecting them to the information on the next slide.

We all know that at least some—when exam nerves kick in— will get it wrong and so lose all marks and that is so sad. Incorrect s.f is a classic for e.g.

Dr Crascall @lecrascall.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
If it is a mock maybe you could decide on the mark scheme as a dept….so working must be shown. I know I would be tempted!

Dr Crascall @lecrascall.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
I often joke about (my) “fat fingers” on the calculator (with not quite on purpose demonstrations!) to remind them of thr importance of showing working out. “One mark lost for fat fingers but 3/4 for the working out”.

Get a job (you love) (1.) Because you (5.) knew lots of things and so (2.) could therefore find you passion. Along the way you’ll get 6. and 3.
