3MT - SLIDE ... dos and don'ts


We had a workshop for our 3 minute thesis participants yesterday. My slot was on how to come up with a single static slide for the presentation. I'm putting my notes here for safekeeping... LOL 

DO NOT ...

  1. use text and complicated graphics
  2. rely 100% on your slide to convey your message
  3. use bullet points
DO ...


  1. use a single readable sentence that the audience can refer to if they get a bit lost
  2. choose one 'hero' image or diagram
  3. add some personal touches
  4. use visuals that appeal to our senses 
  •  The title can be in the form of a question or the actual title of your research.
  • Try to use a metaphor or an analogy that can help explain your research
  • your slide should create a deeper understanding of what you are talking about.
  • keep it simple - your slide should be CLEAR, LEGIBLE, CONCISE.  in other words ... 
LESS IS MORE
