How to give an Awesome Powerpoint
We've talked in class before that while there is technical information in our presentations, there is a story to tell. You do not need to read your presentation off word for word. You probably read faster than the same information is spoken. That's true for most people, so if you want others to listen, give use something that isn't on screen. |
