This document contains a rubric for evaluating presentations. It provides criteria for evaluating several aspects of a presentation, including body language and movement, eye contact, introduction and closure, voice and intonation, mechanics, graphics and images, font and size, length of text, background and colors, and citations. For each criteria, it assigns points from 1 to 4, with higher scores representing more proficient demonstration of the criteria in the presentation. The rubric will be used to systematically assess and provide feedback on presentations.
