Do you have the presentation blues? Not sure how to mess up your seminars and talks? The 10 Commandments will surely help you!
For many years, the much-accepted “standard model” for seminars has called for a knowledgeable speaker to enthusiastically convey information to an interested audience. However, a number of mind-blowing but excruciatingly boring talks, offer proof of the breakdown of this model. This presentation highlights the recently discovered techniques of powerpointlessness. Carefully following such techniques, coupled with the appropriate use of unlabeled and irrelevant graphs has been proven to obscure any remnant of an intelligible presentation. Success can be quantitatively measured in terms of an attention parameter, as shown in a fig. somewhere on this page. Time permitting, we’ll also go “beyond the standard model” and show the best way to use tiny text, multi-layered figures, confusing layouts, and dubious colour schemes for awesome poster presentations |
