The presentations I like best

My three favorite PowerPoint presentations are made by Kealey Malott, Megan McCloskey, and Whitney Stanat.

I like Kealey Malott's because it has outlined the basic but most important things to remember when making a presentation. It is succinct but informative. However, Megan McCloskey's is impressive because it is more funny and ironic in contrast. And Whitney Stanat's is both creative and interesting and it covers what most other students' don't cover, such as "try to organize the slide so the ideas flow smoothly" and "don't clutter slides with lots of texts".

A few things that I think are essential to making a nice presentation involve the following:

1. Use proper fonts and backgrounds.
2. Use consistent transitions.
3. Combine texts, pictures, graphs, and sounds. Don't overuse either of them.
4. Make it easy and pleasant to read.
