- Each slide should contain a photo or graph to coincide with its text.
- A grammar or spell check should be conducted before submission.
- Text on the slides should be listed in a bulleted/list format, not huge paragraph chunks. There should be a minimum of 4 bulleted items per slide (but there can be more).
