Student PowerPoint Presentations

When using an image, it should be relevant to your presentation and not added just for decoration. Figures (i.e. images, photos, graph, drawing etc) including those found on the internet still belong to someone, so you must alway acknowledge where you got the image from by creating a reference.

Usually, student PowerPoint presentations are not published or made publicly available. Therefore, including a figure number or title above the image is optional. You should include an in-text citation underneath the image i.e. (Author, Date). Please check with your tutor.

If the work is in the public domain, it can be reproduced without permission. If it has a Creative Commons licence, this should be included. If it is a copyrighted image, a copyright attribution is required and should be included in the figure note.

Have a reference list entry in the reference list. The reference list should be on a slide at the end of your presentation.

Tables

The basic components of tables are:

Number. e.g. Table 1. is above the title, to the left margin and bold. Table numbers are in the order that they are mentioned in the assignment
The title is one double-spaced line below the table number. It is brief, clear and descriptive. It is in italics and has capital letters for the major words
Tables may include headings depending on the data i.e. column headings and stub heading (leftmost column)
The body of the table includes rows and columns
There is often a note below the table . The word Note is in italics. It contains information needed to clarify the contents of the table, mentions a copyright attribution or acknowledge the original source

Masters and Staff - Work that will be published

If the table is included in work that will be published i.e. a thesis or journal article, permission to use the copyrighted image is required (unless it is copyright free or has a Creative Commons license. See Creative Commons for more information). This permission is placed at the end of the caption e.g. Reprinted with permission or if adapted, use 'Adapted from' followed by copyright information. See the APA Manual pp. 199-224 for more information.
