This document outlines a scoring guide for evaluating CSE team presentations. It is divided into four main sections that assess content, organization, delivery, and verbal presentation. Each section contains criteria rated on a scale from poor to excellent. The content section evaluates topic appropriateness, knowledge depth, evidence and reasoning, addressing pros and cons, and discussion professionalism. Organization examines idea development, introduction/conclusion, logical flow, and examples. Delivery covers appearance and text, while verbal presentation focuses on elements like eye contact, speech, vocabulary, and enthusiasm.
