On the slides you should:

Prepare yourself

Show up early and verify that your equipment works properly – this is very important because if the equipment is not working properly it could ruin your presentation.

Don't assume that your presentation will work fine on another computer – It is important that you should always test your presentation on another computer jus in case the software you used might not be compatible with the other computer.

Verify that the projector's resolution is the same as the computer on which you created your presentation – This can put the audience off your presentation as they might not be able to read certain words you have put up their caused by blurriness.

Turn your screen saver off – This can distract the audience from what you are saying and showing them.

Check all colours on a projection screen before giving the actual presentation – The colours may project differently than what appears on your monitor.

Ask your audience to hold questions until the end – This is important because it shows the audience is engaged with what you are saying, and allows you to do your full presentation uninterrupted.

Avoid moving the pointer unconsciously – This can be distracting to the audience.

Do not read the presentation – The text should be a cue not what you are saying.

Stay on time – Do not go over the time limit if there is one but also do not go on for too long as your audience could get bored.

Monitor your audience's behaviour – If you observe people focusing on your slides there could be too much data/information on the slide.

Choose an appropriate presentation structure: topical, chronological, classification by categories, problem and solution, or cause and effect.

Divide the body of your presentation into three to five main points. The conclusion should include a summary of the main points of the

presentation and leave the audience with something that is worth remembering and pondering.

Include questions in your presentation, which should be asked once every 10 minutes to engage the audience that is relevant, or even give the audience a question which you could later go back to, to see if they were engged.

The final slide should contain a message thanking the audience, your contact details, and information about the availability of speaker notes, materials, and feedback tools.
