There is ten simple thing to make good presentation based on Dr. Philip E. Bourne, a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, University of California San Diego 4: 1. To know the audience 2. Less is more. The audience are likely to remember only three things from your presentation.5 3. Only talk when you have something to say. Do not talk to much, it make your presentation massage lost. 4. Make the Take-Home Message Persistent. A good rule of thumb would seem to be that if you ask a member of the audience a week later about your presentation, they should be able to remember three points. If these are the key points you were trying to get across, you have done a good job 5. Be logical. There are three parts of your presentation. The beginning, middle, and the end.6 6. Presentations should be entertaining, but do not overdo it and do know your limits 7. Practice. 8. Use visual. Professor Albert Mehrabian did a lot of research into how we take in information during a presentation. He concluded that 55% of the information we take in is visual and only 7% is text.7 9. Review your presentation 10. Provide appropriate acknowledgement. Having many gratuitous

acknowledgements degrades the people who actually contributed.
