Presenation helps students create effective PPpresentations of their own

2. Content recommendations
The content of the presentation should be
carefully structured and have the following parts:
 title
 outline
 introduction
 main body (methods, results, discussion)
 conclusion
 webliography and bibliography
 info about the author

3. Content recommendations
 Slides are designed to supplement your
presentation, not to BE your
presentation.
 Keep it simple, and don't read your
presentation word for word from your slides.
 • Fill out a storyboard before you begin to
put your presentation together. It will help
you stay organized, and things will get done
faster.

4. Content recommendations
 Presentations should not contain full paragraphs of
text
 Every slide should contain a title that summarizes
the information presented on the slide
 Create a logical flow to your presentation
 Don’t overload the presentation with multimedia
files but at the same time don’t forget that the best
way to remember the information is to visualize it
 Don’t forget to make references (plagiarism!!!)

5. Form recommendations
 Type that is projected on a screen should be in sans
serif type (like Arial or Helvetica). This is because
in the projection process letters lose some of their
sharpness, and serif type (like Times) can look
muddy when projected.
 Use large fonts, as big as realistically possible.
Small fonts (28 is the smallest possible) are hard to
read.
 Use contrasting colors either a dark background
with light text or a light background with dark text.

6. Form recommendations
 Avoid busy backgrounds that will make the
text hard to read. Keep the background
simple
 Limit your graphics to 1-3 per page. Too
many graphics can be distracting.
 • Avoid all CAPITAL LETTERS IN YOUR
TEXT. It will look like you're shouting.
 • Include a good combination of words,
pictures, and graphics. Variety keeps the
presentation interesting.

7. Style of presentation
 Don't read from the slide - vary your choice
of words.
 Don't talk to the screen; maintain eye
contact with the audience.
 Use a laser pointer to indicate salient
features of the slide as you speak
 Speak loudly and articulate.
