 Read this slide carefully and memorize it as this
will be part of your evaluation.
 Good presentations are Difficult because there are many factors to consider, such as Content, format,
font Size,,Posture, ,volume, length ,,audience, storyline, etc.
 If you know how to put the factors together correctly ,,it can lead to a good
presentation. Otherwise, the presenttion will not be half as good as it can be.
 The Goal: In this talk, the focus is on All of the Above except for the content……
 PowerPoint is a “Great” tool for giving presentations: 6 million PPTs everyday are given

 Example of a Bad Color Scheme

• Fonts in the same color family as the background do not show up well.
• Here are some tips for good color combinations
– Use the Design Templates
• Go under the format menu and select Slide Design
– Use the Standard Color schemes
• You can’t go wrong with the dark blue background and yellow or white text
 Another Bad Color Scheme

• Dark text on dark background

• Beware of shaded backgrounds

• The dark text is harder to read down here

 Distracting Backgrounds

• Color
– Too bright
– Not enough contrast
– Some colors will look different when projected
• Distracting designs
Regulation of Herbs and Drugs

• Herbs are classified as dietary supplements in United States
– Manufacturers are limited in claims they can make
• US Regulating Agencies
– American Herbal Products Association
– Natural Nutritional Foods Association
• Safety with herbs
– Be informed
