More on PowerPoint Presenting

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.
