Oral Presentation Rubric for evaluating delivery skills

Oral Presentation Rubric for evaluating delivery skills

Oral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors. Oral communication takes many forms. This rubric is specifically designed to evaluate oral presentations of a single speaker at a time and is best applied to live or video-recorded presentations. For panel presentations or group presentations, it is recommended that each speaker be evaluated separately. This rubric best applies to presentations of sufficient length such that a central message is conveyed, supported by one or more forms of supporting materials and includes a purposeful organization. An oral answer to a single question not designed to be structured into a presentation does not readily apply to this rubric.

The final draft of the research paper should be 4-5 pages double-spaced with a clear introduction, a well-developed body of the paper, and a conclusion. The paper should include in-text citations and a works cited (bibliography) and follow MLA format.
