1. Presentation Review1 Objectives How well did the presentation meet the three universal objectives: –Get the facts across –Convince the audience of their validity –Keep them awake long enough to do the above

2. Presentation Review2 Identifying Main Points What were the main points made? How many? Too many or too few? Did the presentation follow the “tell 3 times rule” for the main points: –Introduce them in summary form –Tell about them in detail –Recapitulate at the end

3. Presentation Review3 Effective Use of Slides Organization: Title Page? Outline? Main Body? Conclusion? Slide Format: –Short concise bullets? Hierarchical bullets? –Too much on a slide? Fonts: Clean and simple? Large enough? Use of figures: Were figures/tables used? Explained? Were they clear?

4. Presentation Review4 Verbal and Visual Parts Spent sufficient time on each slide? Stayed focussed on bullets? Put complex details (formulas, equations, stats) down on slides while avoiding information overload?

5. Presentation Review5 Keeping Audience Interested Eye contact? Changing victims? Utilized feedback? Physical actions: –Stood up? –Moved? –Faced the audience? –Spoke loudly enough to be heard? –Varied pitch?

6. Presentation Review6 Handling Questions Did the presentation elicit questions from the audience? If so, were the questions repeated before answering them?
