I haven't been posting much because I am defending my Quals today.
81 slides...I am so the Power Point God.
UPDATE: Triumph! I have passed. One more hurdle between me and occupational recognition overcome. And, yes, 81 slides was a bit long. It was supposed to go 2 hous with questions, but I went about 20 minutes over. They were joking that I was trying to "pass by attrition."
Heartiest best wishes, brother - ya should've suggested me as an external examiner!
Let us know how it goes - good luck!
81 slides!?!?
Ye gods... How long are you planning to talk for?
I generally use one slide per minute as a rough maximum. You can get away with a little more if some of them are just pretty pictures, but 81 is an awful lot.
(I'm not really trying to increase the ambient stress level. Honest.)
Best of luck.
I've got my defense at the end of September, and I'm already worried. Good luck with yours!
