1. Planning

I made a plan of what would be in the slideshow, and it had an introduction and a conclusion.

I didn't make a plan first. The presentation just stopped, or finished with "thank you for listening".

2. Use of colour

There was good contrast between colours of background and text (top and bottom rows only), and the background was plain.

The background was distracting, and I used colours from the middle of the colour range, so text did not stand out from the background.

3. Legibility

The words on each page were large and clear, and in a plain sans serif font, and bold.

The words were in a fancy font that was hard to read, or too small to read clearly.

4. Dot jots only

There were only a few words on each page. There was never more than one whole sentence.

There was a lot of writing on each page (more than 8 words), and whole sentences.

5. Images

There were some photos, and some of my own diagrams and drawings, in the slideshow. Only one or two images were on each page, and they showed what I was talking about.

All the images were copied from somewhere else, and none of them were my own drawings or diagrams. There were lots of images on a page. The images had nothing to do with what I was saying.

6. Copyright

In my bibliography, I gave the title and author of all books used, and the URL of all websites. I kept a record of these as I was working, so I could remember them all.

I missed out lots of resources in the bibliography because I couldn't remember which ones I used. I only said "pictures from the intranet", and didn't give URLs.

7. Delivery

I looked at the screen or at the audience all the time I was talking. I used the slideshow as cue cards, and didn't hold any paper.

I read what I was saying from cue cards or from a piece of paper.
