Presentation Outline

It is very important to carefully structure your presentation so that the audience can easily follow and understand you. I suggest the following guidelines:

1. Introduction – introduce what you will be presenting, let the audience know there will be time for questions at the end
2. Overview – give a general outline of your presentation
3. State Points – give your points in logical sequence, giving explanations and exceptions. Make a clear transition between each point.
4. State results and conclusions
5. Summarize
6. Close – relate the beginning of the presentation to the end
7. Questions – ask the audience if they have any questions
