Tutorial

In this weeks tutorial we learnt how to use MS PowerPoint. The first task we had was to go to http://www.personal.psu.edu/uxg3/blogs/undergraduateresearch/2008/02/online-resources-for-how-to-pr.html and than list five strategies that will enable me to deliver a good presentation.
These are:

1. To design your slides with your audience in mind meaning you have to know your audience so you can use the appropriate level of expertise for your audience.


2. When presenting your talk take it slow it is more beneficial to give your audience a chance to take in what you said and have quality information then to have lots of information but the audience not being able to take that information so inevitable only getting low quality information.
   
3. In order for your audience to absorb more information from your presentation you have to keep it simple so they are not overloaded with information.


4. To make sure your talk goes smoothly you have to practice your talk so you have almost memorised it completely so that you can do your talk on automatically so you can not be put on the spot with Miss understanding of what you are saying.
   
5. When doing the slides on PowerPoint use colors with high contrast, including contrast with the background and adjacent colors.
