To ensure quality enhancement in presentations by the students, the following

suggestions may be given to the students by their respective mentors.

1. Information Less Is More: Remember that the audience should listen to

you, not read the screen. Write just enough to remind yourself of what you
should say.

2. Limit the use of clip art: It is recommended that you use images that might
be more directly related to your presentation, such as logos instead of using
clip arts or irrelevant images.

3. Be quick fingered: Dont take much time to show the next slide or text

4. Less use of sounds effects with animations.

5. Tables, Pie-Charts, Bar Diagrams: Incorporate Tables, Pie-Charts, Bar

Diagrams, etc to show major analysis and interpretations of your study
however there should not be many slides of the same in PPT.

6. Rehearse: Rehearse your presentation at least twice.

Note: The essential thing to remember when delivering a PowerPoint presentation is

to use PowerPoint slides as an aid to your presentation and not the foundation of the
talk. The idea is to keep the attention on you and to use a slide to demonstrate
important data or information without breaking the flow of your presentation,
distracting your audience.
