ON THE DAY OF PRESENTATION TO PROFESSOR:

Make sure the AUDIO works on your PowerPoint. You can use Sound effects (since you will be demonstrating the PP show on my computer in the lecture room, which has loud speakers).
You may also want to go for the Automatic Timer option on PP. Make sure you Rehearse well before the day of final, since timing is critical. (10 Extra Credit Points for a well-paced, well-rehearsed show!) Of course you can always use the left mouse key and do it manually.
What I am looking for is an interesting full content, high-quality use of MS-Office PowerPoint features. Keep your audience attracted and informed. Use the tools wisely! Be creative. Do not get over excited with special effects. Remember you will be presenting your slide show to your classmates, so keep it fun, educational and exciting (Always remember who your audience is!)
