Answer 1

Answer:

tips for making an effective presentation

1. Avoid the use of flashy transitions such as text fly-ins. These features may seem impressive at first, but are distracting and get old quickly
2. Simplify and limit the number of words on each screen. Use key phrases and include only essential information.
3. Use the slide master feature to create a consistent and simple design template. It is fine to vary the content presentation (i.e., bulleted list, 2-column text, text & image), but be consistent with other elements such as font, colors, and background
4. Overuse of special effects such as animation and sounds may make your presentation “cutesy” and could negatively impact your credibility.
5. Use good quality images that reinforce and complement your message. Ensure that your image maintains its impact and resolution when projected on a larger screen.
6. Limit the number of slides. Presenters who constantly “flip” to the next slide are likely to lose their audience. A good rule of thumb is one slide per minute.
7. Know how to and practice moving forward AND backward within your presentation. Audiences often ask to see the previous screen again.
8. Practice with someone who has never seen your presentation. Ask them for honest feedback about colors, content, and any effects or graphical images you’ve included.
