In-class presentation grading

I realize some of you won't care becuase it is exam week - but some of you will!, so here is the rundown of how the inclass presenation was scored.

This email is going to be crossposted to the class blog so you can access it whenever needed.

In WebCT, for the in-class presentations, you'll see some numbers like this:


35 22


The first number is how many points (out of 36) you earned from me. The second is the average number of points you received from your fellow students who were grading you. I have also pasted in any comments your fellow students (and myself) made about your presentation.

Here's the details.
---------------------------------------------------------------

I took the grades from your fellow students and averaged them.

Could you understand the presenter?
The Slide Designs guided your eye.:
The presenter made it interesting.
Overall Design works to support the message:
You learned something from this presentation.

There were 25 points possible. (5 pts. each)


------------------------------------


I was grading you as well. It was based on the following:

36 Points Possible
5 Slides: 8 + Title + Biblio + Jobs: All, 8+2, 8+1, 8+0, <8
3 Sound: Well, Badly, Not
3 Graphics Well, OK, Poor choices, Not much, none
4 Slide Transitions Present, well done, average, badly
2 Master Slide Two, One, None
3 Points built up Well, AVG, Badly
3 Speaker Notes Yes, no
5 Interesting Slides 5,4,3,2,1
5 Interesting Present 5,4,3,2,1
3 Research 3,2,1

------------------------------------------

To calculate your grade:
1. Average up all the student responses.
2. Calculate the percentage.
3. Calculate the percentage of my grade.
4. (Student percentage * .25) + (Instructor percentage * .75)

That's your grade.
