| Abstract: | A bad presentation followed by an explanation of what went wrong. Errors include: not having the computer ready to go, talking for far too long on the title slide, slides that are too crowded, too much text, incomprehensible graphics, tiny photographs, inappropriate animation, reading the slides out to the audience, failing to engage the audience, turning your back on the audience. |
