General InformationThis class introduces the basic features of Microsoft PowerPoint, producing multimedia slideshows for presentations to be delivered on a projection system, personal computer, or automated to run independently on a kiosk. Explores informational, educational, business, and personal presentations. Includes animations, transitions, and designs. However, the program can only go so far in creating a great presentation. It is up to you, the presenter, to understand what makes a good presentation. Here are some tips that can help you as you begin learning how to create presentations. And remember, the PowerPoint presentation should enhance what you are doing as the presenter - not replace you!

You will be working through all of the chapters of the textbook. It is important that you carefully read the material as you are completing the step-by-step instructions throughout each chapter. There are lots of tidbits of valuable information in the text that can be easily overlooked if you are only doing the step-by-step instructions. All of your lessons/assignments are to be saved to your USB. At the end of each chapter’s assignments below, you are to ask your instructor for her USB so you may save all of your presentations there to be graded. Make a folder for each chapter and have your last name at the first of the file name (lastname_Chapter1). Copy to her USB the entire folder for each chapter. You will NOT print unless told to do so. Your instructor should have had the data files available for you to copy by chapter to your USB. This is a one-credit class scheduled for five weeks.

Prerequisites

• Recommended placement into RD115 and WR115. Audit is available.

If you do not complete all course requirements but you have been consistently submitting the course work during the term, you may request from your instructor a grade of CIPR (Course in Progress-Reregister). Receiving a CIPR grade means that you must register (and pay) for the class again, but you may then complete the course beginning with assignments that you have not yet completed.

An Incomplete is available only when a small amount of work is not yet completed, such as one test. An Audit must be declared in writing within the first week of the term. The Pass/No Pass grading option must be requested by the eighth week of the term.

Your Time Commitment

In order to complete this course in five weeks, you will need to spend a minimum of nine (9) hours each week working on this course. The “rule of thumb” for college courses it to expect two hours of work outside of class each week for each credit of the course. Depending on your background, you may need additional time outside of class to complete


the assignments; this will increase the amount of work you complete, your understanding of the concepts, and your final grade.

Computer Lab: The Sylvania campus provides an open lab for student use. The schedule of open lab hours will be posted by the classroom the first week of the term or you can check with the office staff.

Students Rights and Responsibilities

The Students Rights and Responsibilities handbook is found at http://www.pcc.edu/pcc/abt/rights/student_rights/default.htm. You will find useful information about your rights as a PCC student.

General Information about PowerPoint Presentations

Text Slides: Text should highlight your presentation, not create a substitute for it Bullet points, not complete sentences.

4-6 points per page No large blocks of text, audience stops listening, and reads Consider showing one point at a time, using animation

Images: Avoid clip art… everyone has seen it before, lacks emphasis Images should be good: not pixilated, out of focus, too dark Cropped to remove distractions

Graphs/Diagrams:

Make them as simple as possible To be grasped in just a few moments, not studied at length

Templates: Use a consistent background and layout for all slides. The template sets the tone of your presentation Avoid really bright backgrounds, or cluttered layouts Fonts: Choose two at most, nothing cursive or ornamental Stick to sans-serif (block) fonts, for legibility Minimum of 18 point, 20 to 24 is better

Main points/titles bigger than sub points/content

Color: High contrast dark on light, or light on dark

Avoid extremely bright colors, hot pink, neon orange, acid green

Animation:

Use sparingly, and be consistent Avoid distracting or annoying sound effects


Check your work carefully: Check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors Check for logic and the flow of information Try to test your presentation in the room before your talk Be prepared to give your talk without a PowerPoint slideshow - technical glitches do happen

Presentation Hints:

Practice your presentation Make eye contact with your audience. Do not read the slides to your audience Don't forget to summarize your main points

Use PowerPoint to enhance your talk (NEVER the reverse)
