Powerpoint Advice

PowerPoint presentations are difficult to make well because many people try to do too much with it and end but making their presentation a farce.

Nicole's PowerPoint Do's and Don't:

1. Do make it easy to understand and use simple sentences. No one wants to be thinking hard during a presentation.

2. Do not put more than about 15 words on each slide, it gets tiring to read quickly if there is more to read.

3. Do use animations and graphics, without these the presentation will get boring very quickly!

4. Do not have the presentation on a timer, go only as fast as you can, while making sure that your audience is understanding what you are saying.

5. Do Have fun and put some thought into it. Making a presentation in the last minute and by just throwing some information onto the slide will probably get you a failing grade, or tossed out of a job.

Hope these help you on your next attempt at a PowerPoint presentation!
