In the middle of the desert you can say anything you want

Misc presentation advice

Presentations

Why not put the various scattered advice I get into one place :)

  1. Better less information properly conveyed than speeding through more information of which 0% will be retained
  2. Never ask the audience a question they are not expecting
  3. Pacing is not enough, when the slide is complex pause at the end to give people time to think
    • When doing dry runs, finishing reading a silde and going to the next won’t give a proper time estimate

Plots

  • If you are planning to highlight or add markings to a plot on the slide, leave a color out of the plot itself
    • (for me: no red lines on plots!)
Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
