Presentation Grades
Presentations will
be graded on the following criteria:
-
Focus: The
presentation addresses the assigned topic; each detail presented has a
clear relationship to the topic.
-
Organization:
The presentation has a logical structure; the progression of points is
easy to follow.
-
Evidence:
The speaker elucidates major points with sufficient details. If the
speaker refers to specific sources, he or she cites those sources clearly.
-
Depth: Although
brief, the presentation is obviously well-researched. The speaker
provides significant information about the topic rather than listing points
that provide little insight into the film, its production, its reception,
or its contexts.
-
Delivery:
The speaker conveys points smoothly and adheres to the time limit.
If the speaker provides a handout, the handout is well-prepared (titled,
readable) and plays an essential role in the presentation.
Speakers will receive a
0-4 ranking for each criterion, with 0 representing a missing component
and 4 representing exceptional execution of the criterion. The presentation
grade constitutes an average of the rankings in each category.
