If you're a student on the University of Cambridge's Multidisciplinary Design course (GM1), this episode is for you.

The episode stems from consideration of the pitfalls presenters fall into concerning use of slides.

Simply by avoiding these pitfalls, you can make your presentation outstandingly communicative.

This is the second of three episodes on presentations. There is a parallel set of episodes on poster presentations.
