Let your audience share with you a general idea of what it is you will be presenting. The interest should be directed to the speaker or his slides. If they turn to their laps to read something, you have lost them. You need to carry an idea or plan of your talk in your head. Call someone on a pay phone, and tell them what you are going to talk about.
Slides Feel free to consult faculty and borrow their slides.
If you do, it might be courteous to acknowledge the source when you present them. We have a copy stand for shooting your own slides. The students have a Macintosh computer that is good for graphic displays. You can use the professional services on campus or at Swain Hall or Medical Illustration but get permission first. We also have a Nikonos with lights for underwater use.
