For example, some professors don't even use bullet points to present a series of concepts. Instead, they use either a paragraph or an unformatted list of sentences. A list of key terms or phrases formatted as bullet points works much better in sketching out ideas for listeners as you talk about them. But if you're not experienced with PowerPoint, or similar tools, then you may not realize that.
A few who were using bulleted lists were not effectively using indented levels to graphically organize concepts in a way that helps students see how it all hangs together. Again, experience and training can help professors apply these principles that make their presentations much more effective.
To help out, I've created this 25 minute video show both basics on how to make bullet points and a few tricks on making bullet points more effective. The second half of the video shows a bad example of a slide and then walks you through several tricks to fix it up into a much more effective slide.
This next video shows you how to animate bullet points so that they appear one at a time. If have several different points on one slide, it is sometimes more effective to reveal them only as you get to them in your talk. If they all come up at the beginning, your students are reading ahead and not staying focused on your point.
