I can't believe we are getting this super important tutorial just for free. Thanks!

POV: you're making a powerpoint for a science project

This course should be mandatory for University professors.

Some good ideas, but way too conservative. All the references will not be legible to anyone beyond row 2, so they only take up slide real estate. Likewise, simply adding annotations to various subfigures is useless as long as said subfigures are still there to distract the attention away from what is being talked about. Also, figure design from publications should only be used when presenting someone else's research - if it's your own, make new diagrams better suited for presentations. Print and presentation are different media governed by different usability standards. You can magnify, turn and take your time with a PDF, with a presentation, the presenter dictates the sign, the orientation and how much time you have to assess a slide. Make it readable, make it easily accessible and limit the amount of information added at any one time. Unless a comparison is necessary, split subfigures onto individual slides.

"Do not use bulletpoints" said in bullet point form

[mysteryhombre]

Great advice, agree with it all but the bulletpoints...

While there are a number of useful suggestions, the powerpoint slides shown do conform to most recommendations for good slides. The main failings are having too many words on the slides, and having too small a type font.

How do you insert the arrow for word tables?

I need slides for Microsoft word for my biography assignment in a presentation form dew today. .

Excellent tutorial on the scientific PPT presentation!

Solved everything! (for oral presentations)

The principles are good and make a lot of sense however, the slides themselves are quite bland. I understand that in science it is substance over beauty but I think giving this slideshow to a theater of med students would send them to sleep. If you look at other presentations where visual aids and animation are the main focus (along with a set theme), are perhaps more effective.
