9. Some things to avoid….
10. Powerpoint Karaoke
11. The evils of Powerpoint are familiar to everyone, they include: Too much textToo small to read and is really only serving as a crutch for the presenterClip Art and Slide templates that have been seen a million timesSpinning, wooshing, dazzlings animationsPart of the problem with having so much text onscreen is that it puts of people. If the idea of your presentation is to read from the slides then why are you there? Besides people can read quicker than you can talk so they’ll have finished reading your slide and be waiting for the next one, or even worse working on a masterpience doodle. Your presentation, Powerpoint or otherwise, should be a supporting aid – you want main the focus on you not your presentation. Ideally, you should be able to deliver an equally interesting presentation should the projector/computer/room/audience break. Avoid too many bullets as well – it makes the information dull for the audience. Poor Powerpoint

17. Attending College “Overall, our findings provide a combined retention rate of 92.40 % for students who attended TCD. This is very close to the previous year’s rate of 92.45%. It should be noted that these results should be interpreted on a tentative basis as it is clear that a number of other outside factors impact on a student’s ability to sustain and progress in their chosen area of study at third level.” 15,000 students come to Trinity every yearThere are 3 FacultiesMorgan 2001 A study of non-completion in undergraduate University courses The average non-completion rate across Irish Universities is 16.8%Improve all students chances of achieving their maximum potentialConnect with students – building relationships, departmental receptions51% of college students leave college because of lack of effective supports
