The rubric evaluates presentations on a scale of 1 to 4 in several categories: organization, verbal delivery, subject knowledge, enthusiasm, and nonverbal delivery. Higher scores indicate superior organization, clear communication, strong topic understanding, positive energy, and engaging body language.
