Why is it preferable to use note cards rather than a delivery outline? Give four suggestions for

using note cards.

What will be an ideal response?


Note cards are easier to handle than a sheet of paper and are less noticeable.
Suggestions:  Use standard note cards.  Always use note cards as unobtrusively as
possible except when reading a direct quote or a complicated statistic.  Make sure your
notes are legible.  Number multiple note cards.  Write on only one side of your note
card.  Avoid writing your notes in too much detail.  Avoid putting too much down on
each card.  Highlight ideas you wish to stress.
