A lesson given by the librarian to staff and/or students on creating PowerPoint presentations should not include?

The focus of a lesson on creating PowerPoint presentations should be on the practical aspects of effectively designing and delivering the presentation itself. This includes topics such as how to cite sources appropriately, which is essential for academic integrity, design principles that enhance visual communication, and creating engaging content that captures the audience's attention.

While avoiding plagiarism in research is a crucial skill that all students and staff should understand, it falls outside the scope of a lesson specifically focused on the technical aspects of building a PowerPoint presentation. Instruction on avoiding plagiarism is more relevant to the research and writing process rather than the presentation phase. Therefore, including it in a lesson specifically designed for PowerPoint skills may not be necessary for achieving the lesson's primary objectives.
