10 Rules for Student Presentations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you think things have changed from your school days, think again. Liverpool Hope University in the UK has issued a list of top ten guidelines for freshman student presentations. They still work for those of us whose student days are long past:

DON’T:

Leave research and preparation until the last minute
Rely on one source of data
Make it up
Just hope that it will come together on the day without preparation and practice
Have no notes to rely on if you get stuck
Worry too much—it’s not as bad as it seems
Mumble
Read from a script
Rush the presentation by speaking too fast
Go over the time allotted for the presentation

Thanks to the Geography for the New Undergraduate programme at Liverpool Hope University for their wisdom.
