When converting a paper into a Power Point there are several items to keep in mind.

• • You do not want to copy paste your paper because you do not want is to have long copy pasted paragraphs on your slides. The information in the slide is a que for you to discuss a topic you are well versed in. Below is an example of how I converted a paragraph into a slide

A study published in the Lancet investigated the consequences of the loss of pollinator populations at 50 percent, 75 percent and 100 percent. A database of 224 types of foods from 156 countries was used to quantify nutrient composition and pollinator dependence around the world. This compilation was used to estimate the reductions of micronutrient intake and the health burden that would result at each percentage of decline. The study estimated that a 100% decline in pollinator populations could result in a decrease the supply of fruit by 22.9%, vegetables by 16.3% and nuts and seeds by 22.1%. It was estimated that this reduction of food supply could cause 1.42 million deaths related to chronic disease and malnutrition. The findings also suggested that individuals living in poor countries would experience the decline of produce differently than those living in developed countries. Areas such as the Sub-Saharan region of Africa and South Asia would be more likely to experience an increase in diseases related to deficiencies of vitamin A and folic acid leading to more night blindness and neural tube defects respectively. While wealthier countries, such as North America and Europe, would see an increase in chronic diseases and a significant rise in healthcare costs (Smith et al, 2015)

vs

• You also want to include pictures that make the topic more interring to the audience
  • Never use stock photos
    • Lazy
  • Relevant to the topic on the slide and illustrate something you cannot say in words
    • People
    • Maps
    • Comics
• As the presenter, you need to elaborate in your own words about the bullet topics on the slide. You also need to transition from one slide to the next in your own words. A presentation has to have the same fluidity as a paper.
• One difference in a presentation is you should bring your personality. You want to give a presentation that you would like to listen to. Do not bore your audience. It’s rude.
  • The best way to be entertaining is to
    • Not read off your slides
      • Use bullet points
      • Prepare transitions when practicing
    • Have genuine interest in topic
    • Voice inflection
      • This makes the presentation dynamic and keeps the audience engaged.
    • Personalize the presentation – personal anecdotes /current events
      • In this format you want to be talking directly to the audience unlike in a formal paper.
• You must have complete command of the topic
  • • Practice over and over again
    • Practice pronouncing unfamiliar words
• NEVER SAY SORRY
  • Once you are presenting it is too late to make changes. Don’t bring attention to the fact that you are nervous or may not be completely prepared
  • Unprofessional
• Slow down and think about what is coming out of your mouth
  • Instead of ummmm close your mouth and pause
