Slide text
Now I’d like to talk about how much text to put on a slide. I know it’s easier if all of the text is on the slide so that you can just read it during your presentation. However, if you’re just reading your slides, then why are you even there giving the presentation? Just print out your slides and skip the boring presentation altogether. People can read faster than you talk, so everyone is probably already done reading this slide by now. Am I still talking, did you hear what I said?

Bullet points
Bullets are better
They are the key points
Use the 7x7 rule
Or the 6x6 rule is better
But even with these rules
Your slide looks like this!
