Presentation Hints
 Presentation
•
•
•
•
•
•
Both of you must speak during the presentation.
Did everyone share responsibilities for preparing the presentation?
Was the information presented in an organized manner?
Do you “know” the information? You should know the information well enough
that you do not need to read it word-for-word off note cards or the slides.
Don’t talk to the screen!
Did you practice? Run through your presentation a few times!
 Slideshow
•
•
•
•
Don’t make your slideshow too fancy - keep it simple!
Make sure you do not put too many words on each slide. That is distracting to
the audience and takes too long for the presenter to read.
Don’t use fonts that are difficult for you or your audience to read.
Use colors that blend well together. Yellow on a white background is not a
good combination!
