Topic outline



  • The goal of this week is to find out more about how to design and use your slides. Although many students are familiar with the basics of creating and using slides with PowerPoint, it is rare that students (or even professionals) have familiarized themselves thoroughly with actual guidelines for effective slide design. In addition, due to lack of time, slides are often created last minute and in a hurry. It is, therefore, worth your while to spend some time learning more about slide design and creating your own set of slides.   


    This week consists of two assignments. In Assignment 7, you will study/read more about slide design and then share your findings. In Assignment 8, you will create your own set of slides and include some thoughts to justify your choices in slide design.
