Tips for topic selection

10 tips for selection of a topic 



1)     Start off small

     Keep it simple. Don’t try to be too heroic. Many of us get carried away by the results even before the work starts choose a strong topic and get bowled over. What matters most is how we’ve worked on our topic and how it is presented.

2)     Keep your audience and occasion in mind

Know about the platform where you are about to give your ppt. If it’s an event check out for any list they’ve suggested. If it’s academic consult your faculty / seniors for suggestions.

Never forget about your audiences. Get an idea about their intellect, background etc. there is no point how hard you work if your audiences don’t
understand what your point is.

3)      Ask for advice

If you can’t make up your mind on what to choose, get some help. It’s nothing wrong in taking an advice from your faculty, seniors, and peers. If they don’t have a solution they can at least direct you.

4)     Take the help of internet.

Search the web. You can find direct topics or ideas or works that give you ideas. There are numerous websites, blogs, other media which offer interesting ideas on ppts. Give it a try.
Note: Try searching with proper key words to find faster and accurate results.

5)     Pick interesting ones.

Go for topics that are not just interesting to work on but also interesting to present and be seen. Look for topics that rise curiosity in the listeners. No one would want their hard work to be labeled as ‘boring’.

6)      Know your choice.

Try selecting topics in related to areas you are acquainted with. This will give you a sense of confidence while working on it and help you face problems if any. If you go for topics that are alien and you have no idea about it you’ll feel vulnerable throughout.

7)     Check for scope

Before committing on a topic quickly go through all the available resources and have an idea about the quantity and quality of data available on it. If you are not satisfied you can change right then avoiding trouble later on.

8)     Watch out for similarity

Keep a tab on what your peers are working on. If you happen to work on the same topic as they do find out what perspective they are going to present. The last thing that you expect is your work being looked upon as a copy.

9)     Choosing your perspective

Even a boring topic may be presented in an interesting way. So, try and work on what perspective you want to go with. Identify the angle that intrigues the listener in the topic. But do not forget 'Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder'.

10)   Try not to present a copy

If you happen to run out of all choices except to present a readymade ppt, do not present it as it is. Try making some additions and subtractions here and there. Replace the existing layout, design, theme etc. try adding some data if you can. In short leave your mark on it.
