Presentation layout

Hi,

If your agenda slide bullet points do not link directly to other slides how much would this cost in marks?

Also if you use too much information but still get the point across how much would this cost in marks?

Are mistakes like this ok as long as the overall communication is ok?

Finally is it possible to do really well in the written and poor in the presentation and still pass?

 

Hi,

From my experiences, no it's not possible to do poor in one aspect and still pass. I think the pass mark is quite high so if you do poorly in one aspect then it would need perfect marks in the other which is hard ot obtain regardless of your level.

In terms of the presentation mistakes, I understand there are specific marks available for format, layout and make-up of the slides so you will lose marks for this even if you correct it in giving the actual presentation.

Also, a lot of the marking will be based on the feel of the examiners. If you have the wrong slide headings it is unlikely the presentation will flow properly and thus lead to the examiners penalising you further.

On the plus side, you know what mistakes to look out for!!

 

Well I was thinking of an example like below:

Agenda

Method a
Examples
Method b
Comparison
Questions

Actual slides

Method a
Different rates
Method b
Different rates
Comparison
Summary
Questions

The main reason why I'm asking is that to have a bullet point for each slide seems excessive as here for example I would have 7 points. In this example the agenda is approximately correct with overall outline so surely this should not affect flow of presentation critically? I was thinking you would lose some marks for layout say 3-4 marks but not too much more for the actual presentation?
