Oral presentation – Assessment criteria

Global assessment

The following descriptions can be used when making a global assessment of a student’s performance.

· Excellent (A) – a skillful presentation which was easy to follow. Student used clear, accurate and appropriate language and the presentation was effectively planned and well structured. It left listeners with a clear idea of the main thesis and supporting or associated ideas. Stimulated interest amongst listeners, as evident in audience behaviour and questions.

· Very good (B) – above acceptable. Well handled presentation with well developed ideas and clear, intelligible delivery. Some minor problems with use of language and/or delivery but these did not cause major difficulties for listeners.

· Good (C) – an acceptable level. Managed to achieve “yes” in most categories. No major difficulties with the language and a clear thesis with supporting ideas were evident.

· Fair (D) – barely acceptable level of performance. May have prepared but had some fairly major problems with content and/or delivery. This made listening to this presentation a strain for audience.

· Poor (E) – of unacceptable standard. Poorly prepared and difficult to follow. Structure of talk not clear and inaccurate use of language or poor delivery caused a lot of strain for listeners. No or little attempt / ability to engage listeners.
