Slide text

Now I’d like to talk about how much text to put on a slide. I know it’s easier if all of the text is on the slide so that you can just read it during your presentation. However, if you’re just reading your slides, then why are you even there giving the presentation? Just print out your slides and skip the boring presentation altogether. People can read faster than you talk, so everyone is probably already done reading this slide by now. Am I still talking, did you hear what I said?

Bullet points

Bullets are better

They are the key points

Use the 7x7 rule

Or the 6x6 rule is better

But even with these rules

Your slide looks like this!
