BAD SLIDE
• This slide is boring.
• There are no illustrations.
• I read exactly what you see.
BAD SLIDE
This slide is bad too because there is a great deal of text to read and it’s not easy to see how it is organised. If the audience reads the whole text, they will not be able to pay attention to the speaker. If the speaker reads the text aloud, they add nothing to what the audience can read by themselves. The font is too small and there is nothing to motivate the audience to make the effort to read the text and follow the speaker’s argument. As a rule of thumb, you should use a font size above 20. You should also keep text to a minimum and divide it into points to help the audience see where you are. You can add additional information orally while we look at your slide. Illustrations, when well chosen, make your slides more attractive and help the audience to focus on your main points. Your slides complement your presentation because listeners generally do not listen intently throughout your presentation. They may “tune out” from time to time, losing concentration and thinking about something else. If your slides are well designed, your audience can find the thread of your presentation again by looking at the main ideas on your slide and the illustrations. The colour scheme is fairly nasty too.
BAD SLIDE
this slide is poor
because it is too different from the others
and the effects are distracting
OVERALL EFFECT
1.EASY TO FOLLOW ...... DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW
2.INTERESTING TO LISTEN TO .... DULL TO LISTEN TO
3.STRONG POINTS (don’t change) .... WEAK POINTS (TRY TO CHANGE)
