Whenever possible, use graphs, charts, tables, figures, pictures or lists instead of text to highlight the results and findings. Letters should be large enough to read from approximately 10 feet away.

Oral presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, including a five minute period for discussion. Acceptable presentation slide show formats are Microsoft PowerPoint or Corel Presentation, preferably on CD. Use of personal laptops will not be permitted. The lecture hall has facilities for overhead and slide projection, but this is discouraged.
