Presentation Transcript

  1. “Title” slideTitle in place of prominence Group members, alphabetical order

  2. Definitions • Design a Concrete Definition. • Inform your Definition through Multiple Sources. • Use your Handbook (Finkelstein, 2008, p. 257-258). • Use my Online Readings (Greenfield, 2012). • Use your Personal Research (Google Trends, 2012). • Provide Citations for Everything, and reference your citation on a final “References” slide.

  3. Additional Slides • Provide Explanations. • Additional Information about the Topic. • Use of the Topic in Other Contexts. • Present Examples. • Findings from your Personal Research • NOT Findings from the Handbook. • Share Tips toward the Assignment.

  4. Graphics & Visuals Google Trends shows that searches for presentations have gone down, suggesting we might be more comfortable with presentations (Google Trends, 2012). (Vollman, 2006) Add Interest and Additional Explanation. Not Clip Art. Provide Evidence for Use or Importance. Provide a Visual Example.

  5. Formatting Concerns • Make sure that slides are consistent: • If the first title is at the top, all titles are at the top. • If your first bulleted list is indented 0.5 inches, they all are. • Parallel Structure. • If you begin with one style, you maintain it. • Use an appropriate and professional background. • Include “notes” – not full discussions. Don’t go on and on with your points; people will stop listening to you and start reading the slide. If it’s really important, consider making it its own slide, and give them time to actually read it. Or give them a handout. Few statements, however, are actually this important, and most points can be made more fully as you are talking. • Take care when incorporating animations. • If you decide you need animations, try for “fade in” for slides or bullet points.
