Tip on Slides
- Do not try to put too much information on any given slide.
- A slide should present an single idea named in the title of the slide.
- Do not have a lot of text on your slides. The slide should not be a paragraph of text.
- If the body of your slide is a bullet list, the bullet list should not be much longer than 4 items. If you need a longer list then make another slide to continue the list.
- Slides are better used for visuals. Most of your slides should be figures or graphs.
- The only reason for having more than one figure on a slide is so that the viewer can compare the figures.
- Do not use fancy graphical effects in your slides or transitioning. The graphical effect distract from the content of your slides.
- Your final slide should NOT be “Questions?” or “End!”. Rather the final slide should be a reference list or the final conclusion of your presentation.
- Any materials used form others source should be reference in the slide.
The number of slides is a personal choice and depends on your presentation style. Some people can effectively present many slides and other people can talk forever on one slide. When I presented physics topics I calculated 2 minutes per slide, they were dense slides with formulas and graphs. Now for HCI presentations, I calculate about 1 minute per slide.
