Spread out your slide information
Better more slides (vs. crowded slides)
Font size 28 point is minimum!

Do These!

Use pictures sparingly
Images should enhance information
Not distract from it
Images should be unique
Avoid clip art
Use from web, camera, etc.

In-Text Citations

Avoid plagiarism
Cite web source for images
Directly below EVERY image
Cite the source of ALL content
Rules are same for Word, PowerPoint, etc.
Exactly like in Research Paper
Cite the source wherever it changes in slides
