Things that will Reduce your Grade in Presentations

• don't read your presentation from a piece of paper - use note cards
• don't spend all your presentation telling your audience things they already know - teach them something new and useful
• don't have the Overhead Projector turned on all the time
• don't have Overhead Transparencies (OHTs) as your only visual aid
• don't have paragraphs on your OHTs - point form only
• don't forget to check the pronunciation of words that you are not sure about, especially if they are important words in your presentation. CILL has a CD-ROM dictionary that you can listen to for pronunciation.
