That seminar was potentially the most pitiful display of public speaking I have ever been a witness to. The speaker had far too many verbal ticks (uhhhh, ummmm, like, and….) to allow me to focus on her point, and she brought in so many external references without really explaining what her point was. How did these quotations relate to the viewpoints she is trying to relate to us.

Grrrr…. Now I have to write a paper based on this lecture for next Wednesday’s class… I don’t even know what her point was….
