Guidelines for Preparation of Power Point Slides and Presentation

An oral presentation requires both an auditory and a visual component. Your presentation
slides will complement what you will be saying. The following guidelines will help you prepare
proper and good quality power point slides, and deliver your presentation smoothly.

1. Text
 Font size - make all text as large as possible; no less than 28. Exceptions, (however, try
to use font no less than 20 if possible) for references or subtitles on graphs or
pictures.
 Font style - Arial or Times New Roman, using same font style throughout.
 Colors - depends upon background choices. (Refer below).
 Number of words - a good rule of thumb is less than 40 words per slide. This would
allow the average reader to take in the text in around 12 seconds and then
concentrate their attention back to the speaker. A text-heavy slide is distracting and
might take the attention of your audience away from what you are saying.

2. Backgrounds
 Use a simple, pleasing background. Examples: dark blue grading to light blue; yellow
print.
 Simple repeated graphic on left side; white background and black print (as
necessary).
 Avoid a background with many lines, many colors, or many shades of one color.
 DO NOT USE ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS; they are distracting to audience

3. Practice
 You must practice (aloud) several times so that you will be confident and stay within
the time limit.
 You may want to write your speech out (entirely) beforehand to make sure that you
can make your points clearly and that you make smooth transitions.
 Practice as much as possible to achieve an easy delivery.
 Do not read your text or memorize it.
 Know as much about your subject area as possible.

4. Presentation
 Speak slowly. Do not assume that audience members will figure anything out by
themselves.
 Make eye contact with the audience (eye contact with the camera) and interact with
 your slides.
 Point to parts you want the audience to consider using a laser pointer.
 Deliver your presentation with an outline based on your written text, so that you will
not read (and bore the audience), but can find your place if you get lost.
 You may want to have your Introduction and Conclusion written in full (but
summarized) so that you can get through it smoothly.
