Tips
•Practice the presentation beforehand
•Have one member of the group control the time
•Introduce yourselves
•Make sure all your slides are on the computer BEFORE the
presentations start
•Keep any text on the slides to a minimum (just key points)
•DO NOT read off paper. That will affect your grade. Key points on
paper are acceptable
•Keep any videos to a minimum (a couple of minutes maximum) and
ask yourself ... are they really necessary?
