New fashion trends may be in style but not necessarily appropriate for your presentation. The best way
to operate is to avoid walking the line. If there is any doubt, select something else to wear!
No No's1. No hats2. No gum3. No ripped jeans (boys)4. No Athletic wear5. No piercings6. No excessive jewelry7. No excessive perfume
Body LanguageMake eye contact with audienceDo NOT read your presentation
word for wordDo NOT place hands in pockets or
play with pen/pencilCirculate the room to engage your
audienceSpeak loudly and clearly
Logical ProgressionSpeak with conviction as if you really believe
in what you are saying. Persuade your audience effectively. The material you present orally should have
the same ingredients as that which are required for a written research paper,
i.e. a logical progression from INTRODUCTION (Thesis statement) to BODY (strong supporting arguments, accurate and up-to-date information) to CONCLUSION (re-state thesis, summary, and logical conclusion
Outline SlideShows audience what you will be covering
Introduces idea and why you chose it
Gives the audience a chance to see where you are going with your ideas
Should be talked through (First, I am going to present to you..)

Informational SlidesMUST be readable to audience at all
distances in roomMUST be checked for spelling and grammar MUST be a simple font and backgroundMUST be points that you fill in with
additional informationNO paragraphs on PPT (you will lose a billion
points)MUST have cited material within slides
Also- Bad!A paragraph is a collection of related sentences dealing with a single
topic. Learning to write good paragraphs will help you as a writer stay on track during your drafting and revision stages. Good paragraphing also greatly assists your readers in following a piece of writing. You can have fantastic ideas, but if those ideas aren't presented in an organized fashion, you will lose your readers (and fail to achieve your goals in writing).
The basic rule of thumb with paragraphing is to keep one idea to one paragraph. If you begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a new paragraph. There are some simple ways to tell if you are on the same topic or a new one. You can have one idea and several bits of supporting evidence within a single paragraph. You can also have several points in a single paragraph as long as they relate to the overall topic of the paragraph. If the single points start to get long, then perhaps elaborating on each of them and placing them in their own paragraphs is the route to go.
