This document provides examples of what not to do when presenting to an audience. It shows slides with too many words, bullet points, clip art, filler words, and distracting backgrounds or fonts. The goal is to avoid boring or confusing the audience with these poor presentation techniques.
40. I like to put in every word I’m going to say on my slide even
if it means my presentation will be very wordy with tiny
letters and I’m going to face my back to you and bore my
audience but everything’s going to go all right if you don’t
know I copied and pasted every word on this slide from
Wikipedia.
