It's because school is preparing students for life, where it would be outrageous to have written notes while presenting or speaking. What's next, someone else writing the words for you?
- Paraesthetic 5y agoWhats next, paying someone in a poorer country to write your things for you while you 'work from home'
- xnzakg 5y agoYeeeah that's already being done for a a bunch of IT courses. Check out some of those "freelance work" sites, it's fairly obvious a bunch of those are someone's homework...
- grishka 5y agoIt's because school is preparing students for life, where they would never have any chance to look anything up, and could thus only use their own memory. And that "you won't always have a calculator with you" thing math teachers loved so much? Yeah that didn't age well.
- tener 5y agoHow exactly is it outrageous? You are there to deliver the message in a meaningful way, not to recite such message from memory. This is no theater or the cinema where you are playing a role and must be entirely authentic as a result. Sure, literally reading entire thing from your notes in front of your audience is bad form as it fails to build the captivating presentation. It is just distracting for those listening. But damn if this cannot ever work for the online presentation where the speaker isn't visible.
