Helpful Tip
Consider the Use of: Handouts Slides & Other Media
![Page 33: Great Presentations Great Expectations](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081502/568161b1550346895dd17463/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Helpful TipWhen people attend a presentation, they are not
interested in having someone read the slides to them. If that was all there was to learn from the presentation, they could have read the slides themselves and saved a lot of time. One of the most common complaints regarding presentations is that the presenter just read everything from the screen. You have all been there so keep it in mind when preparing your visuals.
