Preparation
No one is a born speaker.
Important to practice as much as possible.
Prepare a script.
Good idea to practice in front of a mirror.

![Page 5: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Preparation (cont.)
Find out how much time has been allotted to you?
Do you leave extra time for questions & answers?
Who is the audience?
Should you provide hard copies of your presentation?
![Page 6: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Audience
Know precisely who your audience is.
What level of knowledge do they have?
Say something to capture their attention straightaway.
Talk to the audience (not the visual aid).
What do you want your audience to believe and to remember?
![Page 7: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction
Who are you? Say who you are. Give your credentials. How are you qualified to speak on this topic?
Say what your topic is straightaway – define your objective.
Specify what you will cover in your talk.
![Page 8: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Structure
Your talk should have A beginning A middle An end
Omit anything from your presentation that you are unsure about.
Important that the audience remembers your ending – it should have impact.
![Page 9: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
An Old Teaching Strategy
Tell the audience what you are going to tell them.
Then, tell them.
Finish by telling them what you’ve just said.
![Page 10: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The KISS Principle
Keep It Simple, Stupid!
![Page 11: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Visual Aspect (if using PowerPoint)
If you are not using PowerPoint or another visual aid, keep notes/outline handy.
But if you are a visual aid . . . . . .
Make sure the presentation is loaded and that it works!!
Simplicity is usually best – too many animation effects can be distracting and alienating.
Carefully choose background, layout, fonts, colors.
Pictures, diagrams, links to web can add attraction.
![Page 13: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Keep slides relatively spare – don’t crowd them.
Don’t read the text word for word.
Don’t use all capitals.
Must be a logical, coherent flow between slides.
![Page 14: Making a Presentation AD140Brendan Rapple 27 April, 2005College of Advancing Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ed35503460f94be31e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bad Slide It’s a study that seeks to understand the mysteries of existence and reality.
It tries to discover the nature of truth and knowledge and to find what is of basic value and importance in life.
Philosophy is thus a form of inquiry.
It’s a process of analysis, criticism, interpretation, and speculation.
The term philosophy itself comes from the Greek philosophia, which means love of wisdom.
Ancient Greeks were the first known western philosophers -- about 500 bc.
They sought answers about the nature of the world and “reality”.
Formerly, people had largely relied on magic, superstition, religion, tradition, or authority. Non-Western Philosophy: long history in China and India.
Western philosophy generally developed independently of Eastern philosophy.
Political PhilosophyExamines the nature and possible arguments for various competing forms of political organization, such as:
laissez-faire capitalism, welfare democracy (capitalistic and socialistic), anarchism, communism, fascism, etc.
Business EthicsExplores such questions as
how moral obligations may conflict with the profit motive and how these conflicts may be resolved.
the nature and scope of the social responsibilities of corporations, their rights in a free society, and their relations to other institutions.

Another Bad Slide
Libraries hold much more than just books: Digital resources, journals, sound and video recordings,
newspapers, maps, government documents, DVD’s, etc.
Point the user to the world of global information Not limited to what is physically in the building Online resources help open up access to the global world
Libraries acquire, organize and make accessible information in traditional and digital formats
Collections can often be accessed remotely

More Bad Slides
The following seven slides have been borrowed from:
www.stanford.edu/class/bio44/IP/IP%20Week%202.ppt
The above presentation has a lot of good tips.
