What I Learned in CompSci #19: Presentation Tips

Presentation Tips 

  1. Use Compelling materials
  2. Be Simple
  3. Minimize the number of slides
  4. Know what to say, don't just read what's on the presentation
  5. Time what to do
  6. Give it a rest
  7. Use vibrant colors
  8. Be creative
  9. Edit ruthlessly before presenting

Use Compelling Materials
Have a reliable source and make sure that your contents are correct. Remember that Powerpoint only gives slide, you make the presentation. Have good contents and design
Be Simple
When making a presentation, it is best to be simple. Simplicity is good, only be complicated when needed
Minimize the Number of Slides
If your presentation is long, people will probably be bored. Minimize the number of slides and be concise
Know What to Say, Don't Just Read What's on the Presentation
Don't just read what's on the slide because we can also read them. Know what to say and have a copy if needed
Time What to Do
Knowing what to say is not enough, also know when to talk and know what to do when
Give It a Rest
*resting resting resting* Don't just work continuously, have a break and give yourself and your audience a chance to rest
Use Vibrant Colors
They're awesome. Don't use dull colors, not only because they are hard to read, but because they are boring to look at
Be Creative
Be creative, it's a must if you want to create an awesome and effective presentation
Edit Ruthlessly Before Presenting
Check the grammar and spelling, check like you are an audience
