Making a good presentation - less is more

Your presentation slides should never contain a lot of text:

1. It makes it difficult for the audience to quickly get the general idea of the slide.

2. Your audience will just read the slide instead of listening to you.

3. You will be tempted to just read the slides out loud, which will make a lousy presentation!

Instead, the text on your slide should give an overview of the things you are going to discuss, and serve as a reminder for you.
