This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint slides and avoiding common pitfalls. It recommends outlining the presentation, using a consistent slide structure of 1-2 slides per minute with 4-5 points each in point form. Font should be at least 18pt and easy to read, and color should contrast with the background. Graphs are better than tables for presenting data and should include titles. Proofread slides carefully for spelling and grammar errors. Conclusion slides should summarize key points and questions slides invite audience feedback.
