Presentation+Critique

Content: Is the purpose of the presentation clear? Does the opening gain your attention and preview the content? Is the organization/sequence/flow logical? Are the main points clear & supported with evidence? Does the closing summarize? Do they handle the Q&A effectively?

Visuals: Is there a title slide? Is there an agenda slide? Do the slides support the spoken word? Are the text slides clean and neat--no more than 7 Iines/7 words per line? Is it easy to read the slides? Are the slides visually appealing? Are the colors pleasing to the eye? Do they use "build slides" to guide the audience?

Delivery: Do they stand out front rather than behind a podium? Do they use the slides as notes rather than note cards? Are the transitions from speaker to speaker smooth so that they do not disrupt the flow of the presentation? Is it easy to hear what they say? Do they look at the audience? Is the body language effective and professional (while speaking and while waiting)? Does it appear that they are prepared?
