Review & Comment

When preparing a slide presentation, you must remember that it is only a presentation and not to be used as a thesis.

Tips for creating great presentations:

  • Limit each slide to 3- 6 bullet points and 3 - 6 words in each point.
  • These bullet points can be thought of as reminder points for you to talk about.
  • Use colors that are engaging and not distracting.
  • Limit the use of animations.

The less text used on a slide, the better the presentation. Always remember, the key to good presentations is keeping your audience engaged with the information you are delivering.
