guidelines for your PowerPoint presentation will be used to grade your work as
well: • Limit the number of words on slides. Slides are designed to supplement
your presentation—not to be your presentation (in this assignment, it is to
supplement your research paper). o Avoid paragraphs o Use bullet points o Use
succinct phrases instead of sentences • Limit each slide to 6 bullet points •
Simple fonts o Fonts "with feet" are easier to read (in a paragraph)
o Fonts "without feet" make nice titles • Choose color combinations
that make your presentation easy to read. • Limit graphics to 1-3 per page. Too
many graphics can be distracting. • Bells and whistles tend to be distracting
for the viewer. Make sure that special effects have a purpose. • Proofread and
spell check
