Presentation Instructions
The
presentation will be based on the topic that you
choose for your review article.
You will be
expected to deliver a polished and concise
overview of the topic in the
allotted 20
minute time frame. You will have 5 minutes for
questions and answers
following the
presentation. You will be expected to fill the
complete 25 minute
timer period, but no more.
Guidelines and suggestions
Your presentation should generally follow
the outline of your paper and should
include a
brief introduction that provides the audience with
a frame of reference, a
main body of the
presentation and a strong conclusion. Your goal is
to engage the
audience effectively and to get
your message across. To do that, they need to be
able to focus on the science and not be
distracted from your message by graphics
that
are needlessly complex or difficult to decipher.
Although there
are a number of excellent presentation programs
available, we
recommend that you use either
Power Point, Adobe Acrobat, or browser-based
applications as these tend to be available on
most computers that are tied to video
projectors on campus. (We recommend against
using Widows VistaMicrosoft
Office 2007
applications as most on-campus computers tied to
projection systems
are not yet capable of
handling the the new file formats.) In one of the
recommended texts, Michael Alley provides some
excellent ideas on how to
format
presentations. The ideas and suggestions below are
from the ASM's
Meeting Site Instructions to
Speakers.
The graphics you
project on the screen should be chosen carefully,
to support the
spoken word. Your slides should
help to clarify your ideas, emphasize important
points, show relationships, and to provide the
visual information your audience
needs to
understand your message. The following are general
guidelines.

•
Keep your visuals clear and simple.

•
Use simple graphs, charts, and diagrams
wherever possible.
•
Avoid using too many
colors, patterns and graphics in one frame.
•
Use a minimum of words for text and title
frames.
•
Upper and lower case lettering
is more legible than all capital letters.
•
Vary the size of lettering to emphasize
headings and subheadings.
•
Avoid using
more than three font sizes per frame.
•
Sans serif fonts project better and are
easier to read. (Example: Arial.)
•
Try to
maintain the same or similar font size from frame
to frame.
•
Try to keep all type
horizontal.
•
Contrasting colors work best.
•
Highlight your main point or heading with
a dominant color.
•
Avoid intensely bright
or saturated colors that compete with the text.
•
Keep color schemes consistent throughout
the presentation.
•
During your talk, make
specific reference to each of your slides.
16.
•
Avoid a series
of slides that merely repeat what you are saying.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds
should be unobtrusive. Cool colors (blue, green,
turquoise, purple,
magenta) allow the text to
be more readable, provided that contrasting colors
are
used. Smooth gradation of the color helps.
On the other hand, textured,
embossed, or
otherwise busy backgrounds tend to draw attention
away from the
content and should be avoided.
Graphics
Photographs, graphs, illustrations and other
types of artwork are excellent means
of
communicating complex ideas, providing that they
are meaningful and relevant.
Likewise, a well
placed cartoon can sometimes drive home a point
that might not
otherwise be made.
Planning your presentation
Make sure that you spend an adequate amount of
time in planning your
presentation. The best
way to begin is to create a template to ensure
consistency
among your slides. You should also
consider your audience, their
technicaleducational level, the amount of time
allotted to your presentation, and
the
complexity of the subject matter. Sketching out
the flow of the presentation in
story board
fashion is generally helpful in deciding what to
include or exclude. It
may also help you
decide what type of visual effects are
appropriate, and where to
place them.
Animation, if used at all, should be used
sparingly. Animated slides
take much longer to
create than static slides, so plan accordingly.
Once you have completed your
slides, practice your presentation repeatedly. If
possible, test your slides on screen to make
sure that your presentation works and
your
color scheme is not problematic. Make sure that
each slide is essential to
your message and
non-redundant. Carefully review the content of
each slide so
that you know which points you
want to emphasize and why. A general rule of
thumb is that you should never have more than
one slideminute, including the title,
transitional slides, and the
acknowledgments. Be brutal when editing your
slides
and pay careful attention to those on
which you tend to become bogged down in
explanations. We will cut you off at 20
minutes, whether you are done or not.
