Use key words and phrases only
9 May 2018 75Chengalpattu Medical College
76. Slide Structure - Bad
• This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your audience
to read and for you to present each point.
Although there are exactly the same number of
points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks
much more complicated. In short, your
audience will spend too much time trying to read
this paragraph instead of listening to you.
