Be prepared for your presentation

• Gather all the information you need for your presentation. This includes:
  • Reading your syllabus/ presentation guidelines thoroughly, note the length of time for presentation
  • Do the research you need to do for the presentation
  • Create an outline for your presentation: 
    • Introduce yourself and topic
    • Body- content 
    • Conclusion- simple review of important information
• Aim for 1-2 minutes talking per slide
• Include images and diagrams, try to include short texts instead of long paragraphs 
• Use high contrasting colours and easy to read fonts (Arial or Calibri, size 16 font minimum) 
• Practice! Practice! Practice!

Avoid technical difficulties:

• Bring your adaptor for your laptop 
• Bring a copy on an usb
• Don’t rely on the internet to access your presentation
• Save a copy as a pdf (more compatible with different devices)
