Presentation Tips

I thought the different articles on good and bad presentations gave some great advice, a lot of it I knew already and some of it helped me realize some bad things I had been doing in presentation as well. Here are 5 main points I think are the most important when giving a powerpoint presentation: 
1) Do not read off the slides
2) Don't use distracting backgrounds
3) Only use about 3-4 bullet points on a slide
4) Use appropriate charts and keep them simple-less than 5 pieces of data per chart
5) Make text at least 28 pt. font

  1. Hey Natalie I really enjoyed your presentation on musical competitions because I use to be in band and have experience with musical performances. :)
