Hey,
I am an undergraduate physics major and I will be presenting a short talk at an upcoming Regional Society of Physics Students (SPS) Meeting. After searching through older posts (on this forum) I found lots of great resources and tips about how to prepare for a talk. However, I did not find any information on tips about how to put together a MS PowerPoint presentation for a talk.
From the resources and tips I found, I sort of have an idea of what to do however, would like some suggestions.
Like for example, is there a particular template you guys suggest for talk using powerpoint?
In addition, I've also read that one should minimize how much math (equations and calculations) they have in their presentation so as to not be cumbersome for the audience.
Also, how many slides should my powerpoint presentation be for a 10 minute talk?
Since my audience will be physics students (I'm assuming mostly undergraduates) and their advisors how should I taylor the talk--so to be general enough so most of the audience follows, yet specific enough to get across technical points of my presentation.
In addition, the conlcusion (the last slide) I've read should focus on the point(s) you want the audience to remember/take with them. How many point(s) should I focus on?
Also, my talk is unique in the sense that I completed the first half of a project during an internship and then another student took over after I left, and continued the work. Since that student finished the project, how should I mention their contribution to the project in the presentation. Basically, although the focus of my talk will be the research I contributed and the data I collected, I would like towards the end to let the audience know what became of the project after my part was completed. While not taking too much time so it just seems as if I am presenting someone else's research, but still giving credit to the student. So, how would I do that?
As always any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
