3. AUTOBIOGRAPHY Vs BIOGRAPHY. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

4. I. Autobiography • It is written by the person himself. • It was first used by William Taylor in 1797 in the English periodical the Monthly Review. • Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes difficult to precisely distinguish from it) is the form of memoir. سيرة ذاتية - مذكرات Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

5. I.1. MEMOIRS • It is slightly different in character from an autobiography. • An autobiography focuses on the "life and times" of the writer. • A memoir has a narrower, more intimate focus on his or her own memories, feelings and emotions. • Memoirs have often been written by politicians or military leaders as a way to record and publish an account of their public exploits. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

6. II. BIOGRAPHY • It is a detailed description or account of Someone's life written by another one, • It is more than a list of impersonal facts (education, work, relationships, and death); • It also portrays the subject's experience of those events. • Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), it represents the subject's story, highlighting various aspects of his or her life, including intimate details of experiences, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

7. LEGACY WRITING: a biographical work when it covers all of a person's life. • Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called LEGACY WRITING. • Together, all biographical works form the genre known as biography, in literature, film, and other forms of media. • In the medieval Islamic civilization, biographies began being produced on a large scale beginning with the Prophetic biography tradition. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

8. This led to the introduction of a new literary genre: the biographical dictionary. • The first biographical dictionaries were written in the Muslim world from the 9th century onwards. • They contain more social data for a large segment of the population than that found in any other pre-industrial society. • The earliest biographical dictionaries initially focused on the lives of the prophet of Islam عليه الصلاة والسلام and His companions. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

9. By the late Middle Ages, biographies became less church-oriented in Europe as biographies of kings, knights and tyrants began to appear. • The most famous of these biographies was 'Le Morte d'Arthur' by Sir Thomas Malory. • "King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table“. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

10. II.1. Multimedia forms • With the technological advancements created in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, multimedia forms of biography became much more popular than literary forms of personality. • The popularity of these forms of biography culminated يبلغ الذروة in the creation of such cable and satellite television networks, Biography Channel, History Channel and History International. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

11. HOW TO MAKE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

12. For making slides in PowerPoint 1. Set your slides according to the theme. 2. Use the Master Slide to define your slide, your supervisor, and your name, and ID. 3. Use a template set-up. 4. Colours 5. Backgrounds 6. Keep it simple 7. Don’t use Excel for your graphs!!! 8. Typefaces (Fonts) 9. Clip Art and pictures. 10. Check your slides. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

13. Set your slides • PP. automatically defaults to “On-screen show” for any new presentation. • This setting will not give the correct aspect ratio for the slide, and will result in black lines on either side of your slide. To avoid this, your presentation needs to be modified. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

14. For the presentation to be imaged correctly. It is best to do this before any slide layout and design is done, as the conversion from “On-screen show” can dramatically affect tabbing, text layout, and precision layout of arrows and indicators. • Any presentations we receive as “On-screen show” cannot be guaranteed to look as intended, and may have to be sent back to the student for corrections. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

15. Use Master Slide to define yours • With a presentation open, go to View/Master/Slide Master. • Any settings you make now, such as font, font size, font color, bullet color, text placeholder position etc. will apply to all new slides. • To add a logo to all the slides in the presentation, import a picture and position it. It will appear on all slides automatically. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

16. Likewise, a new text box with a department or company name on the master will appear on all slides in the presentation. • Your settings will apply to all slide layouts except the title slide layout, which has its own master, and it’s called the Title Master. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

17. Use a template • Use a template to record settings such as slide set-up, colors, fonts etc. • After using the slide master to define properties such as fonts, bullets, text position, text formatting, background, text color, logo etc. • You can save your blank presentation as a template, for a new PP. presentation. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

18. Go to the “Slide Sorter” view (View/Slide Sorter). • Delete all slides, return to "Slides" view (View/Slides), then save the presentation as a “Presentation Template”. • The best place to save the template is C: Program Files Microsoft Office Templates Presentation Designs. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

19. COLOURS • A deep blue or green background color, with white, yellow, orange and cyan سماويtext and lines, to make the slide to be easy to read. • Avoid red text, especially on a blue or green background, as it is very hard on the eyes, and often impossible for your audience to read. • In fact there will most likely be a portion of your audience who is color-blind. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

20. Never use blue letters on a black background or black letters on blue. • Don't be tempted to go crazy with color: Just because you can use 27 different color combinations on a single slide doesn’t mean you have to!!!! • Be strict on using these colours that make audience more attractive with your presentation. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

21. Background • It ackgrounds often look good if they are graduated for example, from blue, to darker blue. • Avoid using a graduation of two colors for a background. • Darker backgrounds with lighter text tend to be easier to read than light backgrounds with dark or black text, especially in a darkened room, as is usually the case when projecting slides. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

22. Whatever you choose, keep the same background throughout the presentation for a consistent presentation. • Consider using a small logo on the background throughout your presentation. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

23. Best presentation • Don’t try to fit a whole novel on each slide. • Bullets الرموز and short phrases are more effective than sentences. • If you can shorten a point, then do so. • A good guide is to use no more than 5-7 bullets per slide, and no more than 5-7 words per bullet. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

24. For a good presentation: Try to keep away from the monitor (for a 15 inch, more for larger monitors), and try to read your slide from here. • One concept/slide at a time is a good guide; or use progressive disclosure الكشف عن المعلوماتslides (using animation) where the audience only sees the point you are about to talk. • Word slides should be used to outline and emphasize key words. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

25. Ask yourself whether you can scan the information on the slide in 15 seconds because this is what your audience will do. • Try to change slides every 30 -60 seconds to give a good pace خطي to your talk and keep your audience interested. • The use of graphs or graphics can add interest as well as simplify the information. • Above all slides should support you and reinforce the message you are conveying. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

26. using • Graphs are a great way to present a great deal of information to your audience. • It is much easier to view a graph than digest a series of numbers in a table. • Don’t do your graphs in Excel and then import them into PowerPoint. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

27. PowerPoint has a fantastic graphing, and the graphs it produces are more pleasing to the eye, behave better, and fit into the look of your presentation. • Simply copy the data from an Excel or Word, and paste it into the data sheet in PowerPoint’s graphing program. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

28. TYPEFACES (Fonts) • There are at least 100 different fonts on your computer. • Some people see this as a reason to use all of them throughout their presentation, with disastrous results. • Use just one or two fonts throughout your presentation. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

29. Use large, bold type for titles and headings, plain text for the body of your slides, and italics for highlighting. • Color can also be used for highlighting a point, but use restraint ضبط النفس. • Don’t go for funky غير تقليديfonts that look like spilt المنسكب milk or hand writing. They are too hard to read on a slide. Go for one of the standard fonts, such as Arial or Helvetica (Sans Serif), or Times New Roman (Serif). Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

30. As a rule, the Sans-Serif fonts are easier to read. • It is one of the typeface that does not have the small projecting features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. • The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without". • Avoid making all of your text bold. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

31. Text is only bold when it is bolder than the text around it, relatively speaking. • If you make all your text bold, you have just created a heavier typeface! • Also, DON’T MAKEYOUR TEXT ALL UPPER CASE, AS TOO MUCH OF IT IS TOO HARD TO READ. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

32. Clip art & pictures Clip Art and Pictures will strengthen your presentation. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

33. SLIDE SPELLING CHECK • It’s the final step to run a spell-check before bringing your slides to be presented. • There’s nothing worse than that pesky عذرperson in the audience counting up every spelling mistake Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

34. Listen to what you have been saying! • It may help to print out your presentation, and get someone else to read it. • Often after looking at your presentation for hours on end. • You may not see a mistake that someone else will instantly pick up and remind you about forever! Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)

35. Handout • Handouts are great in some circumstances. • PowerPoint has the ability of giving you a variety of Printouts for handing out. Dr. Mohammad Gaber (PhD)
