Evaluating Classroom Presentations

From: Center for Faculty Innovation (CFI)

Do you assign oral classroom presentations in your courses? Tired of hearing the same old material badly delivered? Unsure how to grade classroom presentations?

Come to this workshop and learn the nuts and bolts of student speech delivery. You will learn how to evaluate oral presentations, facilitate your grading, refine oral assignments, and help students become engaged in the public speaking process. This workshop will provide useful and creative strategies to help faculty assign meaningful and successful classroom presentations. You will also receive ideas and templates on grading rubrics, individual and group assignments, peer group evaluations, audience analysis, and visual aids. The workshop will also familiarize faculty with communication tools available on campus.

Register now for this interactive exploration of classroom presentations! This workshop is a repeat performance of a popular CFI workshop from Fall 2007. http://www.jmu.edu/cfi/maysymposium/evalclasspres.html
