PowerPoint ®/Slideshow Checklist

Design

· Use a background color or image on slides.

· Use Calibri, Lucida Console, Helvetica, Futura, Myriad Pro, or Gill Sans font style.

· Use 28–32-point font size for the body of your slides (based on your chosen font style). Avoid font sizes below 24-point.

· Use 36–44-point font size for the titles of your slides (based on chosen font style).

· Limit slide content (7 or fewer lines per slide and 7 or fewer words per line).

· Number slides when the assignment requires 3 or more slides. Place numbers wherever you like (but be consistent).

· Include appropriate images that connect directly to the slide content or presentation content.

Title Slide

Develop

· Use appropriate language and be concise.

· Write in active voice when possible.

· Use spelling/grammar check and proofread to keep work error free.

Cite Credible Sources

· Provide credible sources to support your ideas/work when required.

· Cite sources throughout your work when you borrow someone else’s words or ideas.

· Don’t forget: Cite and add your textbook to the Source List if used as a source.

· Sources may be provided on a slide-by-slide basis (providing Source List entries at bottom of slide where source referenced) or in a comprehensive Source List at the end of slideshow.

Build a Sources List

· Include a Sources List slide when the assignment requires research or if you cite the textbook.

· Type “Sources” centered horizontally on the first line of the Source List slide.

· Record the sources that you used in your assignment in a numbered list.
