When giving and receiving criticism for this assignment, take these points into consideration:

Spelling, grammar, and mechanics count, so run your responses through a word processing document and edit accordingly

Write criticism in paragraph format

Be polite and specific

You must respond to each group’s presentation

Look at your evaluation rubric and judge the different groups according to those standards

Giving Criticism As you view the different presentations of the other groups, take note of what you think the group did well on, as well as what aspects could use improvement. Take into consideration what the groups and their final products are being graded on (See rubric). Start with what the group did well on and be specific. Next, discuss what the group did not do so well on. Again, provide specifics. Offer suggestions and alternatives for the parts in which the group did not do so well on. Again, be specific. Respond politely and respectfully. End on a positive note.

Receiving Criticism Do not take criticism as a personal attack. Instead, think of it as a way to better your work. As much as possible, thank each person for their criticism and respond to their suggestions. Be polite and courteous. If you feel that you are being unfairly criticized, that is, you feel that you are being criticized for something outside the demonstrative speech, or are being attacked, inform the teacher.
