Editor's Notes

  1. Examples of bad presentations How to engage your audience Discuss how humans learn Go over design principles Best Practices for Content Step-by-step guide to building a successful presentation Checklist to follow
  2. Who is your audience? What legal issues might they be facing? What might distract them during your presentation? What would be helpful and keep them engaged?
  3. Informing an audience of a topic is the more boring purpose for presenting. If you’re informing your audience, your topic is too broad.
  4. No more overviews of an entire topic. Be specific and narrow when selecting your topic. Examples and Explanations
