Detailed explanation-1: -Why should script fonts generally be avoided on presentations? Because this font category is often very difficult to read, and the audience may be forced to spend too much time reading the words rather than focusing on the speaker’s message.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reading from a script is not a common practice, but should be completely OK for an early-career (and even more experienced) researcher if it helps them, not only to memorise what they wants to say, but more important, to give a good presentation to the audience.
Detailed explanation-3: -Changing fonts throughout a presentation tends to distract and confuse readers. Use a standard set of fonts and apply them under the same circumstance–don’t suddenly use title font for bullet points, or your content font as a title. Use special fonts and font affect sparingly, if at all.
Detailed explanation-4: -The recommended word limit total varies widely from 6 to 40 words per slide. It may also help to present each bullet point individually. Too much text on the slide at any one time creates information overload for the audience. Students can’t simultaneously listen to you, take notes, and process the content.
