1/Rubric For Oral Evaluation Framework
We use a detailed course evaluation rubric (divided into three levels of achievement—sophisticated, competent and not yet
competent) which we feel helps students better understand what is expected of them through each stage of the process. The
rubric addresses the student’s work products, their presentation skills and their abilities to work well as a member of a team.

2. Rubric For Oral presentation
Components 3-Sophisticated 2-Competent 1-Not yet Competent
Organization Presentation is clear,
logical, and organized.
Listener can follow research
paper line of reasoning.
Presentation is generally
clear and well organized.
A few minor points may
be confusing.
Organization is haphazard;

appropriate for the
audience. Presentation is a
planned conversation,
paced for audience
understanding. It is not a
reading of a paper.
Speaker is comfortable in
front of the group and can
be heard by all.
Level of presentation is
generally appropriate.
Pacing is sometimes too
fast or too slow.
Presenter seems slightly
uncomfortable at times,
and audience occasionally
has trouble hearing
him/her.
Aspects of presentation
are too elementary or too
sophisticated for audience.
Presenter seems
uncomfortable and can be
heard only if listener is
very attentive. Much of
the information is read.
Use of
Communication
Aids
Communication aids
enhance presentation.
The font on the visuals is
readable.
Information is
represented and
organized to maximize
audience
comprehension.
Details are minimized so
Communication aids
contribute to the quality
of the presentation.
Font size is mostly
readable.
Appropriate information
is included.
Some material is not
supported by visual
aids.
Communication aids are
poorly prepared or used
inappropriately.
Font size is too small
to read.
Too much information
is included.
Details or some
unimportant
information is

highlighted, and may
confuse the audience.
Content
depth of content
Speaker provides accurate
and complete explanations
of key concepts and
theories, drawing on
relevant literature.
Applications of theory
illuminate issues. Listeners
gain insights.
For the most part,
explanations of concepts
and theories are accurate
and complete. Some
helpful applications are
included.
Explanations of concepts
and/or theories are
inaccurate or incomplete.
Little attempt is made to
tie theory to practice.
Listeners gain little from
the presentation.
Accuracy of
Content
Information (title methods ,
discussion facts, etc)
included in the presentation
is consistently accurate.
No significant errors are
made. Listeners
recognize any errors to be
the result of nervousness
or oversight.
Enough errors are made to
distract a knowledgeable
listener. Some information
is accurate but the listener
must determine what
information is reliable.
Use of Language
Grammar and
Word Choice
Sentences are complete
and grammatical. They
flow together easily. Words
are well chosen; they
express the intended
meaning precisely.
Sentences are complete
and grammatical for the
most part. They flow
together easily. With
some exceptions, words
are well chosen and
precise.
Listeners can follow
presentation, but they are
distracted by some
grammatical errors and
use of slang. Some
sentences are halting,
incomplete, or vocabulary
is limited or inappropriate.
4. 2/RUBRIC for ORIGINAL RESEARCH PROJECT
We use a detailed course evaluation rubric (divided into four levels of achievement— Expert, Proficient, Apprentice and
Novice) which we feel helps students better understand what is expected of them through each stage of the process. The rubric
addresses the student’s work products, their presentation skills and their abilities to work well as a member of a team.
Freedom from Bias Both oral language and
body language are free
from bias.
Oral language and body
language are free from
bias with one or two
minor exceptions.
Oral language and/or body
language includes some
identifiable bias. Some
listeners will be offended.
Responsiveness to
Audience
Verbal Interaction
Body Language
Consistently clarifies,
restates, and responds to
questions. Summarizes
when needed.
Body language reflects
comfort interacting with
audience
Generally responsive to
audience questions and
needs. Misses some
opportunities for
interaction.
Body language reflects
some discomfort
interacting with audience.
Responds to questions
inadequately.
Body language reveals a
reluctance to interact with
audience.
