  \slidetitle{\LaTeX's \texttt{slides} Document Class}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Same \LaTeX\ that typesets your papers; you can use the same
    commands on slides
  \item Trivial to copy bits of your paper (even equations!) into slides
  \item Different fonts: larger, sans serif for legibility at a distance
  \end{itemize}

\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slidetitle{Using the Template}
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item \verb+athena% cp /mit/rsi/misc/slides/slides.tex ~/Paper+
    \item \verb+athena% cd ~/Paper+
    \item \verb+athena% emacs slides.tex &+ \hspace{.5cm} to edit.
    \item Save \texttt{slides.tex}
    \item \verb+athena% make slides.ps+
    \item \verb+athena% gv slides.ps &+
    \item \verb+athena% make slides.pdf+ to prepare PDF slides for your tutor.
  \end{enumerate}
\end{slide}

\slidetitle{What You Should Change}
\begin{verbatim}
%%%%%%%%%%%% Put your slides after this line. For example... 

% Slide with unnumbered bullet points
% Change itemize to enumerate if numbered list desired
\begin{slide}
  \slidetitle{YOUR SLIDE TITLE}
  \begin{itemize}
      \item Bullet point 1
      \item Bullet point 2
      \item etc.

    \begin{slide}
      \slidetitle{Structure of a Slide}

      Content of this slide here

    \end{slide}
  \end{verbatim}
So just copy and paste the example slide in the template (before the
\verb+\end{document}+, of course).
\end{slide}

  \slidetitle{Useful Commands for Slides}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item \verb+center+ environment
  \item \verb+itemize+ and \verb+enumerate+ environments
  \item \verb+\includegraphics+ 
%	For the minitalk, only use graphics that look OK in greyscale. \\
%	For the final presentation, you need your tutor's permission for color. 
  \item \verb+tabular+ environment, but graphs are usually better
  \item For mathematicians: \verb+\[+ and \verb+\]+ (display math mode)
  \end{itemize}

\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slidetitle{Useless Commands for Slides}

  DO NOT use any of the following in slides:

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Sectioning commands (e.g., \verb+\section+)
  \item Numbered equations.  Audience won't remember the numbers.
  \item \verb+figure+ and \verb+table+ environments, similarly.  Just
  use \verb+\includegraphics+ and \verb+tabular+ directly.
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}


%\begin{slide}
%  \slidetitle{Presentation Parameters}
%
%  \begin{itemize}
%  \item Ten minutes for presenting, five minutes for questions
%  \item More than ten slides is too many!
%  \item One minute per slide; don't stuff your slides
%  \item Math people: D{\small ON'T} S{\small HOW} L{\small OTS} O{\small F}
%    P{\small ROOF}
%  \end{itemize}

%\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slidetitle{Making Readable Slides}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item Don't try to make the text smaller
  \item Graphs are generally better than tables
  \item D{\small ON'T} S{\small TUFF} Y{\small OUR} S{\small LIDES}
  \end{itemize}

\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slidetitle{Presenting Well}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item P{\small RACTICE}.  Time yourself.
  \item Prepare answers to likely questions.
  \item Speak fairly slowly.  If you're rushing to get done, you're trying
    to say too much.
  \item Face forward, speak up, don't block the screen.
  \item Remember to thank your mentor(s) and first-week TAs.
  \end{itemize}
