Outline

   Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
    presentation
       Ex: previous slide
   Follow the order of your outline for the rest of
    the presentation
   Only place main points on the outline slide
       Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
際際滷 Structure  Good

   Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
   Write in point form, not complete sentences
   Include 4-5 points per slide
   Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases
    only
際際滷 Structure - Bad
   This page contains too many words for a
    presentation slide. It is not written in point
    form, making it difficult both for your audience
    to read and for you to present each point.
    Although there are exactly the same number of
    points on this slide as the previous slide, it
    looks much more complicated. In short, your
    audience will spend too much time trying to
    read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
際際滷 Structure  Good

   Show one point at a time:
       Will help audience concentrate on what you are
        saying
       Will prevent audience from reading ahead
       Will help you keep your presentation focused
際際滷 Structure - Bad

   Do not use distracting animation

   Do not go overboard with the animation

   Be consistent with the animation that you use
Fonts - Good

   Use at least an 18-point font
   Use different size fonts for main points and
    secondary points
       this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point,
        and the title font is 36-point
   Use a standard font like Times New Roman or
    Arial
Fonts - Bad
   If you use a small font, your audience wont be able to read what you have written


   CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT
    IS DIFFICULT TO READ

   Dont use a complicated font
Colour - Good

   Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with
    the background
       Ex: blue font on white background
   Use colour to reinforce the logic of your
    structure
       Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
   Use colour to emphasize a point
       But only use this occasionally
Colour - Bad
   Using a font colour that does not contrast with
    the background colour is hard to read
   Using colour for decoration is distracting and
    annoying.
   Using a different colour for each point is
    unnecessary
       Using a different colour for secondary points is also
        unnecessary
   Trying to be creative can also be bad
Background - Good

   Use backgrounds such as this one that are
    attractive but simple

   Use backgrounds which are light

   Use the same background consistently
    throughout your presentation
Background  Bad

   Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
    difficult to read from
   Always be consistent with the background that
    you use
Graphs - Good

   Use graphs rather than just charts and words
       Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain
        than is raw data
       Trends are easier to visualize in graph form

   Always title your graphs
Graphs - Bad

Graphs - Bad

   Minor gridlines are unnecessary
   Font is too small

   Shading is distracting
Spelling and Grammar

       speling mistakes
       the use of of repeated words

    have someone else check your presentation!
Conclusion

       Your audience is likely to remember your last words

   Use a conclusion slide to:
       Summarize the main points of your presentation
       Suggest future avenues of research
Questions??

   End your presentation with a simple question
    slide to:
       Invite your audience to ask questions
       Provide a visual aid during question period
       Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
