displayed in 3 groups of 4

Don’t
Avoid Text OverloadHaving too much text on the screen can defeat the purpose of using PowerPoint. The slides begin to look like a jumble of text, making slides difficult to read and unrecognizable from each other. People will either try to read everything or copy everything down or they will lose interest. List only the key points. If you have more info to include use more slides or create handouts.

Don’t
Don’t underline because words that contain letters like g, p, y will get
cut off
