PowerPoint presenting is an effective way to showcase subject knowledge and your research. Also, do not hesitate to visit any one of the PCC writing labs and tutors for help.
*Remember:
- Keep it simple.
- Limit the number of words per line and lines per slide. (6 words per line and no more than 6 lines per slide: 6x6).
- Do not read your slides. Your PowerPoint should act as cue cards for your presentation.
- Make sure to add images when appropriate to your slides. (Images can enhance your presentation as long as you don't overdo it. Too many can be too distracting.)
- Keep it clean.
