Presentation hints• PowerPoint hints• Projection vs. overheads vs. handouts

• Too much text: PPT as an outline or set of headers, not the presentation

Paper presentation differences

• For some audiences, you read your paper

• For some audiences, you talk from overhead transparencies or PowerPoint slides

(find out which ahead of time)

PPT slide design

• Bad backgrounds• TOO MUCH TEXT on a slide• Too small

• Design hint: the "blur" test - squint your eyes and if the text can't be read, redesign

• Too many slides

Gaze, Gestures, & Movement

• Why turn your back on your audience?

• The "B" key, the "W" key, and keeping your audience awake

• Movement vs. pacing: attraction vs. distraction

Page 12: A Presentation on Presentation

Pointing: Pointed and Pointless

• Why I hate laser pointers - what's the point?

• Using the computer cursor– Why the web, Word, or the edit mode of PowerPoint is better than the presentation mode of PowerPoint

• Using a pen or your finger with overheads

• Another feature

Page 13: A Presentation on Presentation

Overhead slides

• For settings without data projectors

• For audiences not used to PowerPoint

• As a backup

Page 14: A Presentation on Presentation

Handout

• If all else fails• One idea: single page, double sided with the title slide, the ten most important content slides, and the contact information slide, printed six to a page from PowerPoint

Page 15: A Presentation on Presentation

Timing

• Aids to keeping on time: watches, timers, buzzers, etc.

• Aids to keeping on time: timekeepers, time cards http://edsserver.ucsd.edu/~jlevin/timecards/

• Practice, practice, practice

Dealing with questions• Why are they asking?

– They want to know?– They want to know if you know?– They want to impress the rest of the audience?

– They want to make you look bad?– They want to make your theoretical position, your methodological position, your institution, etc. look bad

– Don't take it personally

Page 17: A Presentation on Presentation

What if they're not happy with your

answer?• Ask for clarification• Try to answer again (but only once more)

• Defer until later

Page 18: A Presentation on Presentation

What if you don't know the answer?

• Compliment the asker "That's a good question."

• Clarify the question - did you mean…?

• Defer until later

Overall principles
