a)Put exactly what you will say on the slides
b)Put your key points on the slides, but discuss them more generally
c)Put additional information on the slides that you want people to know, but don’t have time to talk about
Objectives
1. Creating a conceptually clear presentation
The Big Picture
2. Creating a technically clear presentation
The Details
A Conceptually Clear Presentation?
Tell a story In our society we are overloaded with
data – place your data in context What story are you trying to tell?
There is a problem, a question, an untested theory or something we don’t know
You are going to try to solve, answer, test, or find out more
A Conceptually Clear Presentation?
Structure your story Background Methods Results Conclusions or Implications
Backgroundthe relevance of your topic
Synopses of literature (1-2 slides) Identify the gap your work addresses
(1 slide) Research hypothesis or research
question (1 slide)
Methods (2 -3 slides)what you did
Population Study design Data elements
Dependent variable Main exposure/independent variable Covariates
Analytic approach
Results (2-3 slides)what you found
Tables and figures are preferable Keep them simple and using disciplinary
conventions when possible If presenting numbers or statistics in
a table, highlight the results If you put quotes on the screen, read
them
Conclusions (1-2 slides)what it means
Don’t restate results, but draw results together to address your story
Implications Limitations Future directions
Final Slide (1 slide)
Simply acknowledge you are finished Acknowledgement of people and
groups that helped your research Begin a discussion (Q&A)
Anticipatory Slides
Additional analyses “Just in case” (2 or more slides)
A technically clear presentation?

Making Text Clear
Text Appearance Ariel, Corbel, or other clear font 24+ Size White/Yellow/Light Green on dark
background
Text Usage Bullet points, not sentences Avoid acronyms Use color to highlight important words or
transitions Do not overdo text on a slide
Making Graphics Clear
Graphics Use graphics to replace text when
possible Any graphic should have 6 or fewer new
pieces of information Label graphics clearly Use color to highlight important aspects
of graphics Use animation only to teach
Other items to consider
Prezi or other presentation software Demonstrations
References Handouts; printout Multiple presenters Cue cards; notes; printout Size of screen and room Taking questions while presenting

I argue that customers’ perception of the representative’s agency is the primary mediating mechanism by which customers that interact with computer representatives direct their emotions toward the organization

Summary – RQ3
• Perceived agency influenced the focus of emotion for the uncooperative conditions, not the cooperative conditions– Supports the conduits and barriers argument
