Tips on presentations using PowerPoint…

1. Do NOT write full sentences and paragraphs not the slides. Remember the rule of 6: no more than 6 words per point, and no more than 6 points to a slide

2. USE speaker notes…this is where you will write in detail what the points on the slide are trying to convey.

3. APA formatted references should be written after the conclusion

4. Introductory and Conclusion slides are required

5. Use graphics to “liven” up the presentation.
