(a) What is shown on the second slide? Outline or table of contents
(b) How many slides should you use a minute? 1-2
(c) How many points should you have per slide? 4-5
(d) A slide should be in point form. It should not contain too many words.
(e) It is a good idea to present your points one at a time because it will help your audience concentrate on your points.
(f) Animation should be consistent and not distracting. Do not go overboard with the animation.
(g) Title fonts should be size 36-point ; main point fonts should be size 28-point, and use size 18-point for an ordinary point.
(h) Do not use a complicated font.
(i) The font colour should contrast sharply with the background. Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.
(j) The same background should be used consistently throughout your presentation.
(k) Use graphs rather than just charts and words.
(l) Proof read your slides for:
· spelling mistakes
· the use of repeated words
· grammatical errors you might have made.
(m) You should have a conclusion rather than an abrupt ending
