This document outlines rubrics for evaluating presentations across four criteria: content, organization and structure, engagement and delivery, and clarity of message. For each criterion, it provides descriptors to assess performance at competency levels of 4 (exemplary), 3 (proficient), 2 (developing) and 1 (beginning). The highest level demonstrates comprehensive mastery of the topic, logical organization, strong audience engagement, and clear communication of the main ideas.
