Agreed, if notes are to be used, bullets are far better than paragraphs. This is especially true if you're using notes as a backup plan. It is far easier to scan through your bullets to find your place than it is to search through long sentence and paragraphs - especially when you feel the pressure. Best to you David! David,

I always advise my students to have a backup plan; a page of bullet points that are the meat of the presentation, and I advise using a checklist so as not to forget anything important such as... gulp... your presentation! Speaking from the heart and speaking with notes are not mutually exclusive; in fact, I strongly advise speaking from the heart with or without notes.

Speaking from the heart and speaking with notes are not mutually exclusive; in fact, I strongly advise speaking from the heart with or without notes.
