One way to facilitate fair and effective assessment is to design an assessment rubric. The rubic has two purposes:

The following is an example of a generic group presentation assessment rubric:

Group Presentation- Planning and Preparation Guide/ Assessment criteria

Criteria #1: Topic was covered in a thorough and accurate manner

Did we carefully consult specific resources related to our topic?

Did we ensure that all important points were covered?

Did we ensure that each group member had a role to play in the research for the project?

Criteria #2: Organization and project management

Did we all participate in the planning of our project?

Did we design an outline for our presentation?

Did our presentation have a clearly defined "beginning", "middle" and "end"?

Did we create "guiding notes" to help us stay on track during our presentation?

Did we rehearse our presentation?

Did we stay within the time limit?

Criteria #3: Appropriate visual aids were used to support the oral presentation

Did we include some sort of visual aids such as slide shows, internet, overheads, posters, props, video clip, or some other sort of visual material?

Did the visual aid enhance the presentation? Was it relevant? Was it effective?

Criteria #4: Other students were involved in the presentation

Did we engage the other students in the class in our presentation?

Did we involve other students an effective way?

Did their involvement help them to understand of the topic?

Did we give opportunities to ask questions?

Criteria #4: Group feedback indicated that all members participated in the preparation of the presentation

Did I complete the self and group assessment sheet (for my group)?

Did I complete the peer feedback sheet (for other presentations)?
