Oral Presentations in Psychology Classes
• Preparing an Oral Presentation, an online tutorial by Dr. Jeff Radel, University of Kansas.
• Dr. McKemy's Oral Presentation Rubric
• How to Create a Captivating Presentation, a summary by Mark McGuinness.
• Powerpoint Slides??? Apparently the business world has come to the realization that Microsoft PowerPoint is often overused and misused. This may result in participants’ eyes glazing over and their actually learning less! A reaction has set in with many. Just do a quick web seach with the phrase “Death by PowerPoint.” You’ll find many articles including the following selected links. (BTW, academia is just beginning to realize much of this.)
• Eight minute video, Eradicating Death by PowerPoint by Bavin Meikle.
• 5 Steps to Prevent Death by Powerpoint (also has links to other helpful information about presentations)
• Death by PowerPoint or Twelve Steps to Better E- Presentations
• PowerPoint Presentations: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
• Jean-luc Doumont, author of Trees, maps, and theorems, a book on "effective communication for rational minds," has provided a 16-page booklet with sound advice on oral and written scientific communication.
