Presentation Grading Criteria


Picture: Boys in McGregor, Iowa dressed as Indians in early 1920s.

Folks.

I will grade each group's presentation . . . and so will you. Below you will find the grading criteria. You will not grade your own group, but all four other groups. The recommended grading distribution for the four groups you grade is: 1 A, 2Bs, 1 C/D. At the end of class, you will hand in your grades. I expect you to take the assignment/grading seriously. You will grade each group on the below categories, and at the end of the presentations tally compartively your final grades. As a basic guideline think of an A as exemplary work, a B as good work that meets all the requirements, a C as average and a D as less than average.

Categories:

Presentation: Was the presentation professional? Did each group member contribute? Did the group seem prepared and were there smooth transitions from point to point?

Organization: Was there a clear organization to the presentation (e.g. a quality introduction and conclusion) or was the direction unclear? Did each point or topic build upon another?

Argument: Was there a clear argument/thesis to the presentation? Did the group support their argument/topic with quality facts and ideas? Did the argument seem well prepared and coherent? *Did you learn anything?*
