Tools for the Doctoral Journey – Presenting

by Michael

I got a few compliments on my dissertation slide deck. I used the below to create the graphics. As I was putting the deck together, I would think of the concept each slide was trying to convey. I would then type those keywords in the search bar of the services below and more often than not, I would find a graphic I was able to modify for my needs.
