![Page 3: PowerPoint best practices](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c0625d8b42aef788b4f0f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
KISS
• Keep it short and simple
![Page 4: PowerPoint best practices](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c0625d8b42aef788b4f0f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Seven by Seven Rule
• No more than seven lines per slide• The title counts as one line
• No more than seven words per line• Reduce to seven main words if needed
![Page 5: PowerPoint best practices](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c0625d8b42aef788b4f0f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Statistics, etc.
• Avoid large tables• Give handouts instead
• Graphics with only main points legible

Colour and Templates
• Be sparing
• We’ve seen it before
• Only if it supports your presentation
• Print in black and white, no background
![Page 7: PowerPoint best practices](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c0625d8b42aef788b4f0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Effects and Animation
• Music, sounds, transitions & animation
• Be sparing and consistent
• We’ve seen it before
• Only if it supports the presentation

Pitfalls
Make sure you don’t fall in the trap

Chilean Exports Fresh fruit leads Chile's export mix - Chile emerges as major supplier of
fresh fruit to world market due to ample natural resources, consumer demand for fresh fruit during winter season in U.S. and Europe, and incentives in agricultural policies of Chilean government, encouraging trend toward diversification of exports and development of nontraditional crops - U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Report
Chile is among the developing economies taking advantage of these trends, pursuing a free market economy. This has allowed for diversification through the expansion of fruit production for export, especially to the U.S. and Western Europe. Chile has successfully diversified its agricultural sector to the extent that it is now a major fruit exporting nation. Many countries view Chile's diversification of agriculture as a model to be followed.
Meanwhile, the U.S. remains the largest single market for Chile's fruit exports. However, increasing demand from the EC and Central and East European countries combined may eventually surpass exports to the U.S., spurring further growth in Chile's exports.
If you’ve read this far, your eyes probably hurt and you’ve been reading this tedious long-winded text instead of listening to me. I’m insulted- can’t you see I’m doing a presentation up here? Look at me! Congratulations, however, on having such good eyesight.

Too Much Text, Font Too Small
• Use at least an 18-point font
• Different sizes for
• Title (36-point)

engine)• Low seat height fits
most riders

Overwhelming Pictures
• 1 to 2 pictures is good
• More becomes overkill

Term Structure of Interest Rates• often referred to as a yield curve for its graphical
representation• illustrates the relationship between yields (return) and
time to maturity (term) at a specific time• A yield curve can be upward sloping (referred to as a
normal yield curve), or flat, or downward sloping (an inverted yield curve).
• Three theories describe the shape of the yield curve-- the liquidity premium theory-- the segmentation theory-- the expectations hypothesis• The shape of the yield curve tells us important information
about interest rates.
