iRubric: Evaluation of Student Internship Presentations rubric

The student did not have a completed presentation.

The student did not have the presentation completely ready and was finalizing some things as class began and/or while other students were presenting.

Presentation was "almost ready to go". We had to wait for this student to copy the presentation on to the desktop.

Presentation was "ready to go" when it was this student's turn.

It was not clear if the presenter fully grasped the topic. The description lacked coherence and ultimately only communicated a vague understanding. Schematics or visual aids did not improve the explanation, were difficult to read, or were inadequately produced.

The presenter seemed to have a pretty good knowledge of the topic. The description was difficult to follow at times, but overall was effective in communicating the main ideas. The visual aids contributed little to the presentation and it is not clear why they were chosen.

The presenters had mastered much of the relevant aspects of their topic and are able to give a coherent description.
I did not understand all of the terms used, but this did not detract from my overall understanding. Visual aids were helpful.

It is evident that the presenter had complete understanding of the topic. The description was concise and stimulating. The visual aids (slides, physical props, white board, etc.) were cleverly chosen and improved my understanding of the topic.

Presentation was hastily prepared and showed little to no practice. Fidgeting and halting speech were so predominant that I could not make out what the presenter was trying to say. Speech was difficult to hear or halting at times as the presenter seemed to be thinking of what to say.

It is not entirely evident the presentation was practiced in advance, maybe once or twice. Pronunciation was clear and adequate; eye contact was sufficient to make me feel the presenter was talking to the room and not to the floor.

Presentation was well prepared and adequately delivered. Fairly good eye contact, some fidgeting and unnecessary motion, but not enough to distract from the presentation.

Presentation was well prepared and smoothly delivered. It is evident the presenter practiced and refined this presentation. Pronunciation was clear and in complete sentences, practically devoid of “um…”, “ah…” and uninformative phrases such as: “sorta”, “kinda”, “you know”, “basically”, etc. Good eye contact made me feel the presenter was addressing me directly.

The presenter displayed little knowledge and understanding of the components of assignment, software, computers, etc. They did not effectively summarize their internship experience.

The presenter did not seem comfortable with the program or discussing their internship. They needed a lot of outside assistance in getting through the presentation.

A good presentation. The presenter demonstrated the ability to utilize the various features of the presentation software program, however, the presentation did not always keep my interest.

An outstanding presentation. The presentation kept my interest and was among the very best in class.
