your visual aids.
What terminology will they understand? What
examples have
meaning for them?

addition to yourself. It is hard to overlook
errors when they are magnified in front
of an audience. Remember, even a small
error in such a focal part of your program
can undermine the credibility of your
entire presentation.

27. • Fonts should be clear and easy to read.
