Have you ever sat through an awful presentation? I think that we all have. Too many slides. Too little time.
"Good morning class. Today we have to move a little fast. We've got 1 hour and 60 slides, so no questions until the end."
Or, there's the presenter who crams his whole presentation into the slides.
"Um, excuse me... are you just going to read each slide to me? It seems like your not adding anything, so can I just have a copy of the slides and I'll go back to work?"
Here is a nice rule of thumb for Powerpoint presentations (from this blog):
It’s quite simple: a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.
He calls it the 10/20/30 rule. Sounds good to me.
