Point 1: Cut the crap and get to the point.
Graduation defense is a report, reporting your research results to your tutor.
What would you say if it were you? Are you doing this PPT to reply?
It's full of words, and I'm afraid my tutor will frown and say, "Can you get to the point directly? 」
What if we change PPT to this?
So, what does the tutor want to hear?
Listen to the point!
At the end of the day, there are more than 20 defenses, and each student has 20 minutes. Needless to say, I knew that the instructors must be very tired and didn't have time to listen to our research background for half a day. So, get to the point.
So what's the point?
Knock on the blackboard! The key point is what we did in the research: what research methods were used, what results were obtained, and how to evaluate the results. Focus on the work we are involved in. In addition, there is the value and significance of the subject, which is to test whether we are familiar with the subject.
The second point: cover, four pieces of information are indispensable.
First, the cover is very important. Why?
Because you have to rely on cover to quickly attract the instructor's attention from the last defense and then listen to you. The cover must have four information: the name of the subject, the name of the respondent, the student number and the name of the tutor.
In this way, when we introduce ourselves, the tutor can quickly understand who you are and what you have done.
For a title that can't fit in one line, two lines. One trick is to use school materials (logos, buildings, etc. ) to make an atmospheric cover and grab the attention of the tutor at once. School official website is a good place to find pictures ~
The third point: the navigation bar structure is clearer.
Have you ever been in such a situation? After working hard on PPT for a long time, the tutor said, "What are you talking about?" , can only say it again. I suddenly doubt that there is anything in life! Sometimes it is really what you say, and your own pot is your own back; But sometimes the tutor is absent-minded ... To avoid this embarrassment, we can add a navigation bar to each PPT page.
The navigation bar is the whole PPT? The structural skeleton can let the instructor know which part you are talking about. The current part is highlighted in the navigation bar, and the rest is relatively weakened.
The navigation bar can be placed at the top of the page besides the left side of the page. There can be many styles, and you can design them yourself. In addition, you can summarize the contents of each part in one sentence in advance before replying. Don't worry about the teacher being distracted anymore!
The fourth point: flow chart, redraw.
Science and engineering, which is famous for its rigor, will inevitably draw some flowcharts. Many students covet convenience and put the screenshots in the paper directly into PPT. But the screenshot is not very clear. If you encounter a slag projector (the school is usually a slag projector), the effect will not look good.
It is very troublesome to redraw a flowchart in PPT. Why do you have to redraw it like this?
This can show that we attach importance to PPT defense, and we are seriously preparing. This is our attitude. The instructors have seen it, but they just don't say it.
The same is true for tables and charts.
The fifth point: simulate the screenshot and be true.
Our research results can be divided into two categories, physical objects and experimental simulations. Different from the former, the latter can be taken directly to the classroom for the tutor to see, and only a few simulation results can be displayed on PPT.
The simulation diagram is realized by software programming. Because of its complexity and professionalism, it can only be put into PPT through screenshots.
When taking screenshots, there are two techniques that are easily overlooked, but they are very useful:
First enlarge the software window and take a screenshot to make the screenshot clearer;
Second, the screenshot should keep complete information, such as the name of the coordinate axis.
Friendly reminder, PS, a simulation result map, such cleverness does not play! The teacher's critical eyes were worn out at a glance.
Point six: demo, these pits should be skipped.
If you don't know these pits, you will make a fool of yourself in the final stage of PPT demonstration!
The first pit, PPT can't embed special fonts. If we use Siyuan bold, when saving PPT, we will find that fonts cannot be embedded because there are fonts with protection restrictions.
The second pit, the lower version is not compatible with the higher version. The PPT we made with 16 version of Office may not play normally in the 2003 version of the school.
The third pit projector slag exploded, and the demonstration effect was greatly reduced. Although the hardware environment cannot be changed, we can still make up for it in the production of PPT. For example, use Microsoft Yahei to replace the fine brush song style; The background is pure white.
In order to avoid the above three big pits, there is a trick that is very useful. PPT is saved as a picture version.
After saving as a picture PPT, it also means that the animation is lost. However, the defense time is not long, and too many animations will take time. It is enough to add simple page-changing animations.
Remember to back up another PDF PPT. PDF can also be played in full screen.
Multiple guarantees, not afraid of one thousand.
