A presentations checklist
• What is the key thing the audience should remember? • Is there enough background material for the intended audience? • Is any material unnecessary? • Could some of the material be left for people to read about later? Is the talk self-contained? • Does the talk have a motivating preamble? • Have complex issues been explained in gentle stages? • Are the results explained? • Are the numbers necessary? • Are more diagrams needed? • Are the slides simple? Do they have unnecessary ornamentation or distracting use of colour? • Is there any unnecessary animation? • Are the font sizes reasonable? • Are there enough examples? • Have you rehearsed the talk? • Have you prepared something to say about each slide? • What were the limitations of the research? • Do you explain why the research is interesting or important? • Is there a clear conclusion? • Have you memorized the talk? • If you are asked a question you can’t answer, how will you respond? • Have you rehearsed your manner? Will your enthusiasm show? • Do you know how to use the equipment?
