Слайд 3
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
Слайд 4
Slide 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
Слайд 5
Slide 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.
Слайд 6
Slide 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
Слайд 7
Slide Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
Do
not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the
animation that you use
Слайд 8
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
Слайд 9
Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font,
your audience won’t be able to read what you
have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
Слайд 10
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
Слайд 11
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
Слайд 12
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
Слайд 13
Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the background
that you use
Слайд 14
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
Слайд 18
Graphs - Bad
Minor gridlines are unnecessary
Font is too
small
Colours are illogical
Title is missing
Shading is distracting
Слайд 19
Spelling and Grammar
Proof your slides for:
speling mistakes
the use
of of repeated words
grammatical errors you might have make
If English is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!
Слайд 20
Conclusion
Use an effective and strong closing
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
