Now, take a look at all environments together, as a whole and not individual pieces. Is each working together? Is an environment causing limitations on another? If so, which environments are involved and what are the limitations? What could you change to create synergy?

                                                     How to Develop an Effective PowerPoint Presentation

Slide 1 should contain the same information as the cover sheet on a written paper, including the title of your paper, your name, date, class name and number, and instructor name.

Slide 2 should tell the audience what the presentation is about. (“What We Will Be Discussing Today” or “A Synthesis of Weeks 1-7”). The simplest way to do this is to repeat the Course Objective and Prompt in bullet format.

Slides 3 through 6 or 8 present your content and each slide should focus on only one thought, topic, or concept. The title of each of these content slides is called a Headline (for example, "The Global Environment") and should appear at the top of the slide. The Headline will be followed by 4 to 6 bullet points, each no more than 10 or 12 words long. Each bullet point should relate back to the Headline and explain or expand on the Headline. It’s also useful to include a small, relevant, graphic (or video clip if you are really ambitious) on some of the slides, which makes your presentation more interesting.

The last content slide should summarize the “take-aways” that you want the audience to remember from your presentation. (Headline: “Conclusions” or “Take-Aways”). The body of the slide should be 4 to 6 conclusions or take-aways in bullet format.

Don’t forget a References slide at the very end. (Headline: “References” followed by your actual references in bullet format).
