This document provides a rubric for assessing student presentations on fieldwork research methods conducted in Japan. The rubric evaluates presentations based on five criteria: presentation content, organization of content, use of interesting examples, use of powerful visuals, and clarity of presentation. For each criterion, descriptors are provided for excellent, good, and poor performance. Points ranging from 2 to 4 are allocated per criterion, with higher scores indicating more effective fulfillment of the assessment standards. General comments may also be included.

excellent
(4

The
presentation
provided
a
full
and
clear
explanation
of:
overview
of
your
topic
your
introduction
your
study
your
claims
and
evidence
a
discussion
Each
section
was
organized
logically
so
it
was
easy
to
follow
the
ideas
in
every
section,
and
to
see
the
connections
between
sections.
Many
interesting
and
relevant
examples
provided,
which
helped
to
clearly
illustrate
each
section.
A
balance
of
visuals
and
text
were
used
thoughtfully
throughout
the
presentation,
which
helped
the
audience
to
understand
the
ideas
and
examples.
You
communicated
clearly
(spoke
clearly
and
loudly,
and
used
effective
body
language
and
signals),
so
the
presentation
was
easy
to
understand.
good
(3
points
per
frame)
One
of
the
following
sections
was
unclear
or
too
short:
overview
of
your
topic
your
introduction
your
study
your
claims
and
evidence
a
discussion
Most
of
the
content
was
organized
logically,
but
some
parts
could
have
been
more
logically
organized
or
more
clearly
connected
to
other
parts
of
the
presentation.
Some
interesting
and
relevant
examples,
but
you
could
have
added
more,
or
more
appropriate
examples,
to
help
illustrate
each
section.
Visuals
and
text
were
used
relatively
effectively
for
much
of
the
presentation;
however,
sometimes
visuals
did
not
illustrate
the
ideas
and
examples
well,
there
was
too
much
text,
or
the
text
was
not
well
organized.
You
communicated
fairly
clearly,
but
sometimes
could
have
spoken
more
clearly
or
loudly,
or
used
more
effective
body
language.
poor
(2
points
per
frame)
Two
or
more
of
the
following
sections
were
unclear
or
too
short:
overview
of
your
topic
your
introduction
your
study
your
claims
and
evidence
a
discussion
Some
parts
of
the
presentation
were
organized
logically,
but
many
parts
could
have
been
more
logically
organized
or
more
clearly
connected
to
other
parts
of
the
presentation.
You
could
have
used
many
more
interesting
and
relevant
examples
that
the
audience
could
easily
understand
and
relate
to,
to
help
illustrate
each
section.
Visuals
and
text
could
have
been
used
more
effectively;
more
or
more
appropriate
images
could
have
been
offered,
text
more
effectively
presented,
and
a
better
ratio
of
images
to
text
used.
You
could
have
spoken
more
clearly
and
loudly,
and
used
more
effective
body
language,
so
the
audience
could
have
more
easily
understood
the
content
of
the
presentation.
