Preparing for Your Presentation
As you prepare for your upcoming presentation to an audience of adults, here’s a checklist of items to plan for. They will help you make a good impression and leave a positive message in the minds of your listeners.
Effective Slide Presentation
Whether it is your first time presenting or you're a pro, here is some help for communicating your research at local or national conferences.
Helpful Presentation Tips
Pitfalls to Avoid:
Don't use small font. Your font size should be 18 or larger
Font should be legible with high contrast to your background
Do not use fancy font type, instead use Serif or Sans-Serif Fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.)
Do not overcrowd your page, rather summarize content: bulleted lists and no more than two images
Do not forget to align your slide elements. Use left justification or centering to align page content in a clear style format
