Watch a Steve Jobs presentation on YouTube and pick what you consider to
be the best slide in the talk. Explain why you like it.
Create a multiple-choice question slide on a topic you know a lot about.
You are to give a talk on what you like about CSUDH. Prepare a slide with a
script telling the audience the one thing you like best.
You are to give a talk on what you like about CSUDH. Pick two things you
like and prepare an illustrated bullet point slide with a script.
We have stressed simple images, but complex images may also be useful.
Consider Menards map of Napoleon's march:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joseph_Minard. Where would you
use that image? Would it be an appropriate slide in a PowerPoint
presentation?
We asked a simple research question at the end of the presentation –
should bullet points be shown on a single slide or exposed serially? What
do you think would be best for comprehension and retention of the
material?
