What point is this slide from a presentation on writing making?

The written notes are important.
Narrated videos
Summary
 Self-study questions

1. Watch a Steve Jobs presentation on YouTube and pick what you consider to
be the best slide in the talk. Explain why you like it.
2. Create a multiple-choice question slide on a topic you know a lot about.
3. You are to give a talk on what you like about CSUDH. Prepare a slide on
the one thing you like best.
4. We have stressed simple images, but complex images may also be useful.
Consider Menards map of Napoleon's march:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joseph_Minard. Where would you
use that image? Would it be an appropriate slide in a PowerPoint
presentation?
5. Find a Web site that teaches presentation style and compare it to this
presentation.
6. Compare my presentation style with that of Mary Meeker:
