[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7144015, member: 6857506"] First of all, good on you for doing all this work. The last slide is a nice touch. :) I wish that I had seen this yesterday; at this point you may already have given or be giving your presentation. In case you see this in time, if you have time for just one thing, I [I]strongly[/I] recommend what another poster already said - if at all possible, give handouts of the slides before the presentation. You have by my count 57 slides, not including titles, etc. The 3-minute-per-slide rule of thumb says that that is about 3 hours of presentation if you do nothing but talk to the slides. I know, no one (including me) can ever believe this about their own presentation going into it, but it is fairly accurate. And that is if you hurry. If you do not have that much time, be aware that you will have to make some sort of adjustment. The other thing to keep in mind is that if your presentation is mainly you talking, people will recall about three (maybe up to seven) facts from your presentation. Therefore, [I]your main goal should be to motivate them to engage the material after the presentation[/I]. I could ramble on, but those are the main things. Good luck, or if you're already done, I hope it went well. [/QUOTE]
