Rules For PowerPoint Presentations
A PowerPoint presentation is not merely a paper divided up among slides. A PowerPoint is supposed to be eye-catching and interesting to the viewer. In addition to whatever words are on the slide, the slide itself should have a meaningful background and whatever graphics you feel are appropriate.
Aside from the graphics, the slides should contain bullet points of what you will be “discussing”. The bulk of the information you are supplying will be in the speaker notes. This is how a PowerPoint is presented to an audience. The slides will give the headlines of what you will be talking about and what the audience will see. What you will be telling the audience, in explaining those bullet points, is what you will write in the speaker notes. These, therefore, must have all the information you might have written in a paper.
STATUS
I do not want to see a lot of verbiage in the slides, and I do not want to see empty speaker notes. Leaving the notes blank or including nothing but a reference is insufficient.
Speaking of references, every slide and all speaker notes must have cites as to where the information came from. If photographs or other graphics (illustrations, etc.) are used in the slides, these must be cited and referenced also. And there must be at least one reference slide at the end of the presentation (this and the title slide will count towards the number of slides you are to provide).
Format your paper and presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
