PowerPoint Presentation dos and don’ts:

–Include a notes section in the actual notes section of the PowerPoint which should be basically word for word what will be said during the presentation.

–Do NOT use crazy slide transitions or background colors. Keep the slide transitions simple and background colors and slide layout must be appealing and able to be easily viewed by all audience members no matter where they are in the room.

–Use bullet points on the actual slides, use the notes section for your verbiage. Do NOT have slides, which end up being read verbatim for the presentation.

–DO include a reference page (in APA format).
