Share your experiences with presentations or "Death by PowerPoint" at work or at school.
Here are some tips for the presentations you will do in Week 5.
A good guideline for powerpoint is the 5 x 5 Rule:
- No more than 5 bullet points
- 5 words per bullet
- Use Phrases not sentences
This rule limits you to 25 words per slide. In a presentation, less is more. Put the key concepts on the slide, and explain the concepts in the speaker notes. The speaker notes pane is below the slide editor pane. You may need to pull up the dividing line to type into the speaker notes pane.
Speaker notes should have good sentence structure, but are not formal writing. They also should not be a word-for-word speech. APA citations should be put in speaker notes. All images you use should be labeled as Fig. 1, Fig. 2. etc. and cited in the speaker notes:

Referencing figures (e.g., graphs, photographs)
In APA style, the following types of illustrations are considered figures: pictures, photographs, graphs, art, drawings, or anything that is not a table. Here are some general principles for images retrieved from the Internet:
- For the author, use the photographer's or image creator's name if available or use the name of the organization or corporation.
- If no author information is available, use the title in the author's place.
- For the publication date, if no photo information is included, the last updated date for the website can be used.
- Place the image title in brackets, if provided; if not, create a short description in place of the title and include the figure type.

Do not waste time on animations, sound effects or transitions. I will be grading from the slide editor view, so that I can read the speaker notes. I will not run the presentation.
