Presentation Guidelines

You can have five levels of indents• But the further you indent

− The smaller the text gets• And if you indent too far

− The text gets very hard to read− Or even completely illegible

• So do your audience a favor

− Make sure your text is easily readable

• Stick to two levels of indents if possible Your audience will thank you!


Keep It Simple

Avoid Lengthy Text Use key words

• Do not use full sentences Use bullet points that are “parallel”

• Use the same Verb-Object format to start all bullets

Do not read slides Limit number of slides to fit presentation

time – typically no more than 1 slide per minute


Check and Project

Check for spelling mistakes Project the presentation prior to presenting
