Great advice. Thanks. Another question occurred to me today. Is there a good method (aside from practice) to target a certain timeframe in which to fit a presentation? My intuition tells me that this might not lend itself to generalization since there are plenty of factors that might affect it (e.g. topic complexity, speaker's tempo, presence of demos, etc). However, I'd be interested if anyone has any rules of thumb that you use to turn X amount of content (chapters, sections, etc) into a presentation of Y minutes.
Thanks again for the advice so far.
