You're completely missing the point regarding my response to the OP. This
topic—at least at a high level—needs to be a part of any such course
curriculum in order to get people *thinking* about it, at least. How many
PPT decks have we all been subjected to that have nary a design
consideration?

When I brought up the issue of bullet points, what I was really referring
to was what artists refer to as negative space. We know it as white space.
The notion is that, in any design, this is as important a consideration as
is any graphic, typeface choice, etc.
