ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the presentation with slides. The key issues when preparing a presentation are motivation and a good story line, as well as substantial subject matter. The chapter describes the attention of the audience with a catchy motivation, people need to keep it alive by following a well-conceived story line that places the relevant topics—the subject matter of the seminar—in a logically coherent sequence where one detail follows the previous in a natural way. For the bulk of the presentation, the chapter recommends the allotted number of empty slides and giving each slide a title. The title should address one key issue per slide and the sequence of slides should follow the logical flow people have identified beforehand. Naturally, when preparing a report or a thesis in general, the chapter presents the same guidelines used for the preparation of a presentation.
