The document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint slides that avoid common pitfalls. It discusses using an outline on the first slide, including 4-5 main points per slide in point form using large readable fonts and high contrast colors. Backgrounds should be simple and consistent, and graphs should be labeled and easy to understand. Slides should be proofread for errors and spelling/grammar mistakes. Effective conclusions summarize key points and invite questions.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Slides
Making PowerPoint Slides
By:
Mr. UV
Regent International School
2. Tips to be Covered
• Outlines
• Slide Structure
• Fonts
• Color
• Background
• Graphs
• Spelling and Grammar
• Conclusions
• Questions
3. Outline
• Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation
– Ex: previous slide
• Follow the order of your outline for the rest of
the presentation
• Only place main points on the outline slide
– Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
4. Slide Structure – Good
• Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
• Write in point form, not complete sentences
• Include 4-5 points per slide
• Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases
only
5. Slide Structure - Bad
• This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your
audience to read and for you to present each
point. Although there are exactly the same
number of points on this slide as the previous
slide, it looks much more complicated. In
short, your audience will spend too much time
trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.
6. Slide Structure – Good
• Show one point at a time:
– Will help audience concentrate on what you are
saying
– Will prevent audience from reading ahead
– Will help you keep your presentation focused
7. Slide Structure - Bad
• Do not use distracting animation
• Do not go overboard with the animation
• Be consistent with the animation that you use
8. Fonts - Good
• Use at least an 18-point font
• Use different size fonts for main points and
secondary points
– this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-
point, and the title font is 36-point
• Use a standard font like Times New Roman or
Arial
9. Fonts - Bad
• If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
• CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO READ
• Don’t use a complicated font
10. Colour - Good
• Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply
with the background
– Ex: blue font on white background
• Use colour to reinforce the logic of your
structure
– Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
• Use colour to emphasize a point
– But only use this occasionally
11. Colour - Bad
• Using a font colour that does not contrast with
the background colour is hard to read
• Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying.
• Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary
– Using a different colour for secondary points is
also unnecessary
• Trying to be creative can also be bad
12. Background - Good
• Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
• Use backgrounds which are light
• Use the same background consistently
throughout your presentation
13. Background – Bad
• Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from
• Always be consistent with the background
that you use
14. Graphs - Good
• Use graphs rather than just charts and words
– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain
than is raw data
– Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
• Always title your graphs
18. Graphs - Bad
• Minor gridlines are unnecessary
• Font is too small
• Colours are illogical
• Title is missing
• Shading is distracting
19. Spelling and Grammar
• Proof your slides for:
– speling mistakes
– the use of of repeated words
– grammatical errors you might have make
• If English is not your first language, please
have someone else check your presentation!
20. Conclusion
• Use an effective and strong closing
– Your audience is likely to remember your last
words
• Use a conclusion slide to:
– Summarize the main points of your presentation
– Suggest future avenues of research
21. Questions??
• End your presentation with a simple question
slide to:
– Invite your audience to ask questions
– Provide a visual aid during question period
– Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
