  • Most presenters fail here because they ramble on too long about superfluous background information or their personal/professional history, etc.

      I've seen this, nobody wants to hear a person's background from them, we want to hear what you have to show us

      Even when we doubt for a minute, if we convince ourselves we can, we'll transmit this to our audience

      It is important to know who we are talking to and their background so we can sympathize with them. That way, also people will follow our presentation and listen to us

  • to never, ever turn your back on the audience and read text from the slide word for word.

      If we ever read word by word from a slide we are not giving a presentation. Just like in school, we had some words on cards, we never read from them. I don't know why they insist on this. To me, this is obvious.
  • People should be able to comprehend each one in about three seconds.

      I like the idea that a slide can be understood at a glance. I'll keep this on mind

      If all these elements are consistent, we can tell they have been organized and belong in the same presentation

      Bullet points should serve as reminders of what we're going to be talking about, right? That's what I learned in my technology in Ed class at UNI
