Overcoming Communication Barriers

PowerPoint Requirements:

II. Content Slides
A minimum of 15
content slides must be included.
All content slides must contain speaker notes.
o
Speaker notes are a presenters cheat sheet,
if you will. In other words, speaker notes are hidden from your audience, but
you are able to view them while presenting.
o
Speaker notes are NOT a copy of the information
on your slide. Instead, speaker notes expand upon and/or offer further
clarification regarding points on each slide.
o
To add speaker notes, go to the Notes pane under
the slide where you will see, Click to add notes. For more help, view the

A minimum of four relevant, professional images/graphics must be
included in your PPT.
o All
images/graphics used must be relevant, professional looking, and used with the main
purpose of helping an audience better grasp a complex concept and/or remember
information presented.
o Do
not include blurry images.
o Re-read
section 12-3 in your course textbook, as there are some important guidelines
regarding the use of images/graphics in a presentation.
