Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from.Always be consistent with the background that you use.

CHECK YOUR SPELLING BEFORE POSTING YOUR SLIDES. Ofen times presenters do not proofread for grammer errors or pay attention to there spell chek witch can result in a lot of blaring mistaks that will distract your audience, exspecially your professor.
