Tips from TAs:

- Follow the Rubric on the Critique Sheets (Hook, Objective, Reason, Credibility, Preview, etc)
- Pause for effect
- End Powerfully and say "Thank You"
- It is the responsiblility of the student to know how to use the projector and other AV equipment.  It is not the responsibility of the TA.  Use http://resource25.uvm.edu/ to know when you can practice ahead of time in the room
- Master of Ceremonies asks for questions at end, not the speaker
- Source all images on the slides
- Use Blank Black slides in between your images
- Don't talk to screen
- Don't apologize - just keep going
- Put presentation outline on the table, do not use notecards
- If you use a video clip have it be short: 30 seconds or less!
- Repeat questions at end
