Editorial Post 9b

Audience Questions

How did the content change?How does it improve?

I elaborated more on the  Powerpoint part of my paper. This helps the audience get a better picture of what the Powerpoint will look like.



How did the form change?

I had to rearrange certain parts so that it flowed better. Now I have a more visually inducing section of my paper

Selection from Rough Cut

PowerPoints are meant to inform people on what a researcher has done. They are usually composed of slides with few words. They also usually use graphs and charts to make it easier for people to understand.


Re-edited Section


“PowerPoint conference presentations can have two main purposes, either to inform people about what is new or exciting in the field or to inform people about some research they have done” (Riggs). Both presentations still have a similar makeup. Usually the first slides are to introduce the speaker and build their credibility. The following slides are used to discuss whatever the presentation is about and the last slides are a conclusion and reference slides. The slides themselves contain about 3-4 bullet points with each bullet point only containing a few words. The bullet points are mainly used to help the presenter remember where he is in the presentation and for the audience to get the main points of the presentation across. “They try to use the least amount of words possible so that the audience is not just reading the presentation straight from the slide” (Wright). Also, the use of graphs and charts is extremely common as a way to better present the data collected.
