UO Lab

• GUIDELINES/ EXAMPLES
• FOR ORAL REPORTS

UO Lab - SLIDE DESIGN HINTS

• Color might work but its risky. Avoid busy
  flashy themes. Black white is fine.
• Include only key words phrases.
• Use headings bullets to focus attention
  organize ideas.
• Keep figures, tables equations simple.
• Use appropriate font size!
• Avoid over-riding (32 pt)PowerPoint font
  selection (24 pt)because small font may be
  illegible to viewers (14 pt)

UO Lab - EQUATIONS

• Use Insert Object/MS Equation 3.0 command to
  format equations.
• Display essential equations only. Many
  professional presenters avoid equations
  completely.
• Resize for legibility as needed.
• Define terms.
• See following example. This slide could be
  simplified by putting the Geometric Similarity
  and Theoretical approximations on a separate
  slide. Could then include definitions of symbols.

UO Lab - TABLES

• Use to present essential numerical information,
  e. g., variable ranges, key results,
  uncertainties.
• Size for legibility.
• See examples of a table copied from a written
  report (slide 6) and one formatted especially for
  projection in an oral report (slide 7).
• WHICH OF THE 2 TABLES DO YOU PREFER?

UO Lab - FIGURES

• Figures are best for showing trends, comparing
  data to literature values or correlations.
• Make your point using either a table or a figure
  -- not both.
• Make sure line size is thick enough to be
  legible.
• Avoid more than 3 curves per figure.
• Maximize figure size (avoid superfluous titles).
• Include theoretical trend lines or appropriate
  curve-fit.
• See following example (copied from written
  report). Could be improved by formatting for
  projection Simplify legend. Make trend lines
  thicker.
