9. Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

12. The Effective POWERPOINT Presentation
Clear background and fonts
Not too few and not too many bullets
Only use illustrations that are essential or at least clearly relevant
Use consistent animations, colors and fonts
Avoid animated illustrations completely
Each slide should equal about 2 minutes of your talk. 20 slides = 40 minutes (more or less)

13. During your talk… Don’t (just) read the text aloud and click!
Use phrases to
motivate
remind you what you want to talk about
keep you on track
Activate your audience
Take a break – interact and discuss
