How to make a good academic PPT?Today I share the relevant experience, the end of the article collected a selection of 20 sets of academic PPT can be downloaded.
Try not to use the PPT animation effect
1. Online many cool PPT, mostly with P graphics software combined with very complex animation effects produced, but the academic PPT lies in the content of the display rather than the form, the use of animation effects will not give you points for the display;
2. When there are experts and scholars under the stage, they may not have the patience to When there are experts and scholars on the stage, they may not have the patience to listen to your explanation word by word, they may just look up at your PPT to get an overview and then think of other problems.
3. Academic reports need to show all your work to everyone, including every point of view, every picture and so on. The animation effect will inevitably produce the effect of blocking, covering and blurring, which is not conducive to the effective communication of information.
4. In the question session, when you play back the PPT, the animation effect will also play back once, which is very delayed.
Attention to detail
1. Each individual logical link (including each small chapter, each page of PPT, each chart) should be self-explanatory. That is, there is no need for any additional language to explain that all the information in this link is clear, rigorous and complete. In short, try to do, give your PPT to a peer in the industry, he does not need to have any discussion with you to know all you want to express the content.
2. For charts and graphs, please check: title, horizontal and vertical coordinates, legend, and unit.
3. Academic norms: not your own diagrams, tables, data, ideas, you have to add references in the appropriate places.
4. font size and color must be clearly visible in the premise, and then consider the issue of aesthetics.
5. The best not to exceed 20 words per sentence, the best not to exceed 10 lines per page.
6. Chinese PPT for the first time in the remote English and abbreviations, indicating the interpretation of the full name.
7. If the Chinese presentation, the charts can be in English, but the best view of the text is not a mix of English and Chinese.
8. Check whether all the video and sound files can be played normally.
9. Check for typos.
Logical clarity
This one has been mentioned by many and is really important. But how to do this, you just stare at the PPT is useless, remember, PPT is used to assist your presentation. Therefore, PPT to be logical and clear, the premise is that you show the ideas to be clear, so PPT to strictly follow the ideas you show to do.
As someone mentioned before, logical clarity is to follow the format you write your paper in, but many people write their papers clearly, and when it comes to speaking, it doesn't work. So I recommend that for important presentations, try writing verbatim, which means writing down everything you're going to say, including "Hello," "Thank you," "Look at this chart," and so on. Then rehearse the verbatim script more than five times, to correct the awkwardness and the places that do not go down, in fact, this is a very good way to correct the speech ideas. When the speech idea is clear, and then to the PPT repeatedly rehearsal, the PPT on the useless information, take care of the information, said the information is not complete information to check and fill in the gaps, this process will be very fast.
Pay attention to the time
This is also very important, is a key element of the quality of the report. Therefore, in the production of PPT, must be combined with the method in the previous article, to achieve the unity of the four abdominal draft, verbatim draft, PPT, speech. Never finalize the PPT, and then feel not rigorous, repeatedly add a bunch of things up, and finally lead to logical confusion, speech timeout.
