Citations and Attributions

Here is the feedback from Project Two from the instructor:

-Don’t forget to introduce yourself up front!

-Work on smoothing your transitions from slide to slide.  You should be telling a story; you don’t want it to be abrupt from slide to slide.  It should be seamless. Some slides were better than others but connect the dots.

-When it comes to your on-slide content, try to use less copy.  Your speaker notes should really do the heavy lifting and any copy on your slides should be short bullet points.  This is because when you put a lot of copy on a slide, your audience will tune you out and start reading on their own ultimately missing all of the context you’re providing.  You are the most important part of the presentation.  Lean into that.

-Great in-slide citations in the notes.
