Requirements for Powerpoint

1.  For every slide, you need to indicate what you will say in the notes section of the slide.

2.  If you use a picture from an internet site or scanned from a book, you need to indicate its source either on the slide or in the notes section below the slide.

3.  Please check the size of the pictures before you use them. If they are larger than 200 kb, please reduce them down to this size using a graphics software. Otherwise the size of your powerpoint presentation will be too large. All powerpoint presentations will be sent to me via email.

4.  A powerpoint is a visual media so you need to use pictures, tables, and graphs to demonstrate your points as much as possible.

5.  Use words sparingly. I do not want to read your paper on the screen. The slides should consist of bullets.. much like an outline. The words should only guide you in the talk not give all the details. The details will be in the notes section.

6.  Do not use a font size smaller than 20. Font size of 20 is not recommended and should be used sparingly. It is better to use 24 or larger.
