Lecturer | Aya Kawakami (GP Project Director & Writing Advisor) |
A special lecture, open to the public but aimed at preparing seniors for their senior thesis presentations, it focused on how to create an effective presentation using power point. The key points were divided into two sections, the visual and content. The primary focus was on the KISS principle, keeping the presentation slides simple, easy to read, easy to understand, and well connected to what they wanted to say. In terms of content, the most important point was that the content of the presentation is of primary importance and that Power point is a wonderful but supplementary tool aimed at creating good visual aids.

Aya Kawakami's Lecture
In this lecture, GP Project Director Aya Kawakami advised the students on ways to utilize Power Point, an effective visual aid tool. The key concept was that slides should be easy to read and understand. Aya Kawakami emphasized the KISS principle (keep it simple and straight) and the fact that the slides should be supplementary tools that aid the listener's understanding of the student's presentation. While clear charts, good bullet points, and interesting video clips were very important, ultimately the content of the presentation and the speaker's deliverance of their presentation are the primary factors that determine the success of a presentation.
