PowerPoints or Essays?

If I had to say either one, I'd say I prefer PowerPoints. Firstly, they give you the opportunity to be creative - although I'm a science major, I do love the arts too. Secondly, they are fairly quick. Last but not least, it gives your fellow peers, co-workers, citizens, whomever, the opportunity to know you personally. Essays are on the other hand usually have a very strict criteria, which leads to unwanted stress among other things. Furthermore, essays don't give you the opportunity to express your visions (w/ pictorials.) Well, technically you can, but you are fairly limited most of the time to the amount of photographs and such that you can have in academic writings.  I won't "bag" on essays entirely, I'd prefer an essay over a powerpoint if the topic is interesting and I truly want to voice my opinion...verbally on paper. Powerpoints are pinpointed for visual aids; essays are pinpointed for your words on paper. Both have their pros and cons...

Regardless of how I feel about either; I'd complete both and complete them well. After all, I do love seeing A's.
