CSE 115: Presentation Grading

You will be scored by the TA in your lab section.

TA will award a score of 1, 2, or 3 in the following categories:
[A] Overall organization of the presentation
	Presentation should have been prepared ahead of time and 
	student should seem to be following a plan for the content
	and ideas presented in the presentation.  Presentation should
	be organized in a logical way, where if presentation a solution,
	the solution is presented in such a way that someone could follow
	the creation of the final program.  Topics in the presentation
	should not jump from one idea to another.
	
[B] Presentation Style 
	Presenter should be audible and clear even in the back of the room.
	Presenter should frequently look at the audience in the room.  
	Presenter should not read from slides, notecards, or other papers
	during the presentation.  Presenter should appear confident in
	the material he/she is presenting.
	
[C] Quality of materials presented
	Materials should show evidence of preparation.  Slides (if used)
	should be clearly readable and easy to understand.  If actual source
	code is shown, the selected pieces should be visible during the 
	presentation and commented if necessary.  There should be purpose
	for all the materials used.  Hand drawn elements using the white
	board are also acceptable during presentation.  However, these
	elements should also have been planned ahead and it should not
	look like the drawings and other notes are an afterthought to the
	presentation.

TA will award a score of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in the following category:
(Note that grades of 2, 4, and 5 should be reserved for in-between 
 cases.  The real grades will mainly be 1, 3 or 6.)
[D] Content of presentation
	Did the student explain and show the relevant details, definitions,
	patterns, and concepts needed to explain the solution?
	Did the student show a correlation between the lab assignment
	description and the resulting code?
	Did the student tie the relevant course concepts into the solution
	and show where those concepts were needed to solve the problem?
	It is the student's responsibility to ensure a working solution 
	for the presentation by seeking out advice before the presentation 
	date.  If the student's submitted solution does not function, or
	have all required functionality, a discussion of what else was
	needed or how their solution could have been improved would be
	useful and helpful to other students.  The idea is to show how
	the solution could be derived, not just simply showing the final
	product.
