Guide to prepare power point presentation (for viva, seminar conference etc.)

To all students under my supervision, please follow the following guide when you prepare the slides for presentation.

  1. Create the story of the overall presentation first before you start work in power point or other tools
  2. Minimum size of the font is “28”
  3. Choose sans-serif type of font such as Arial, Calibri and Helvetica
  4. Use light color background with dark font/graphics
  5. Estimate to explain one slide in one minute
  6. Bare in mind that you are going to explain the slide and not read the slide
  7. Write in point form and not in full sentence
  8. Use lots of images and diagrams instead of text in the slide
  9. The title for each slide must represents the contents for that slide
  10. Every slide must have its own conclusion
  11. Put citation if necessary
