Presentation Guidelines

Guidelines For Oral Presentation

  • Craft your presentation with a clear flow from one slide to the next.
  • Make use of charts and graphs to highlight your main points. This will aid with the audience's comprehension of the information.
  • Keep your slides simple.
  • Avoid flashy effects like gifs and vibrant colours as the audience can get confused by too many elaborate graphs and charts with a ton of data and statistics.
  • Use fewer words in the slide. You can employ the 6-6-6 rule: maximum 6 words per bullet, maximum 6 bullets per slide, and maximum 6 text slides in a row.
  • Choose high-contrast, easily readable fonts, around 30-point size.
  • Avoid font variations and don’t use all caps or italics.
  • Keep your presentation within the 8-10 minute timeframe.
