Your journal club and research project presentations (October 1, October 15, October 29, November 12, December 10) will be evaluated on the following:
Content
- The content described in the assignment is complete and accurate.
- The central message is compelling (precisely stated, appropriately repeated, memorable, and strongly supported).
- Explanations are clear, demonstrating your understanding of the article.
- Slow beginning with sufficient background and definitions to understand the talk.
Organization
- The organizational pattern (specific introduction and conclusion, sequenced material within the body, and transitions) is clearly and consistently observable, is skillful, and makes the content of the presentation cohesive.
- Outline is given and followed throughout the talk.
- Outline states message of the sections of the talk, not just “introduction”, “results”, “conclusion”
- The talk has a logical flow.
- The talk follows the three-part framework of “tell them what you’re going to say; say it; tell them what you said”.
Visuals (slides)
- Please follow the Presentation Guidelines.
- Every slide has a title that is the main message of the slide.
- Entire content of slide is visible from the back of the room under ambient lighting conditions (color choice, size of fonts, etc.).
- Layout of slides is simple
- Emphasis is on important information
- Appropriate figures are used to illustrate concepts
- Slides are polished: no typos, phrasing is consistent on entire slides (periods vs. no periods; complete sentences vs. phrases), figures are clear, etc.
- Appropriate citations are used and a list of references is provided at the end of the talk.
Speaking style (language and delivery)
- Speaker is knowledgeable, well-prepared, and well-practiced
- Speaker appears polished and confident
- Attitude engages audience (could be friendly, calm, enthusiastic,…)
- Speaker answers questions well
- Emphasis on important information
- Delivery techniques (posture, gesture, eye contact, and vocal expressiveness) make the presentation compelling
- Speaker talks to audience instead of reciting memorized lines or reading from cards.
- Pace is not too fast, not too slow
- Language choices are imaginative, memorable, and compelling, and enhance the effectiveness of the presentation. Scientific words are pronounced correctly and confidently.
- Optional: use of pointer is steady, not circling or waving.
Your presentation must be given on time on the date assigned; failure to present on that day will result in a zero for that portion of the grade. Do not be late to class on the day of your presentation.
