Presentation Marking Guidelines

Peer-Marked

Please assign a mark between 1 and 5 for each of the following aspects of the presentation using the guidelines below. Do not mark your own presentation.

Your presentation will be assigned the mean of the marks assigned by your peers unless the instructor believes the result is clearly inaccurate.

• 5: Every. Word.
• 4: Most of it.
• 3: Maybe half of it?
• 2: A bit.
• 1: Almost nothing.

Purpose

• 5: I can't wait to try it out!
• 4: Sounds interesting.
• 3: OK... but why would I want to use it?
• 2: I'm not sure
