The lecture for 17/03 was about presentations and the Microsoft Office application, PowerPoint. We learnt that;
  • 10% of audience will remember what they see
  • 25% of audience will remember what they see and hear
  • 40% of audience will remember what they say see, hear and write
  • 60% of audience will remember what they experience interactively

Use the KISS principle - KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

The article "How To Give A Bad Talk" written by David Patterson is about oral presentation advice and things to think about when preparing an oral and what not to do when doing an oral.

5 ways to deliver a top-notch presentation are;
  • Practice your talk in front of others.
  • Make eye contact with people to keep interest.
  • Use a large font and colour for your PowerPoint presentation.
  • Make use of all your slides in your presentation.
  • Make your presentation neat and legible so people can read it.

Today I created a PowerPoint presentation about my life. There is a screenshot of it in this entry.
