Most students overthink presentations. They cram 40 slides with walls of text, panic about design, and then read directly off the screen.

Here's the framework I used for every single class presentation — and it works whether you're presenting a 5-minute book report or a 30-minute thesis defense:

Slide 1: The Problem — What question are you answering? What gap exists? One sentence, big font. That's it.

Slide 2: The Evidence — 3 bullet points max. Each one supports your answer. Use numbers when you can. "Sales grew 40%" beats "Sales grew significantly."

Slide 3: The So What — Why does this matter? What should the audience do with this information? End with a clear takeaway.

That's the skeleton. Everything else — design, transitions, animations — is decoration. Get these three right and you're already better than 90% of presenters in your class.

Want the full system with templates and live feedback? That's what Presentation Masterclass is for.
