ORAL PRESENTATION ASSESSMENT SHEET
Every student is required to give a short presentation on one or more of the literary theorists scheduled for that week and/or William Faulkner’s novel, As I Lay Dying.
Students are expected to give their presentation on the date scheduled, except in the most serious circumstances (e.g. certifiable illness). Students who fail to present on their scheduled day without due cause will receive a mark of 0% for this part of the unit. Every student is expected to submit an essay derived from their oral presentation two weeks after the date of their scheduled presentation, irrespective of whether the presentation actually takes place.
Presentations should not exceed ten minutes. Over-long presentations will be curtailed by the tutor. Presentations may be either extemporised from notes or read; the criteria for assessment are the same for both methods of delivery.
The assessment of the presentation will be carried out during the presentation and will consist of a single global mark out of a possible 15% of the total mark for the unit. A copy of the assessment sheet with the tutor’s comments will be given to the presenting student. Students are advised to note the tutor’s comments and ensuing class discussion when writing the essay derived from their presentation.
Assessment criteria:
- Style of delivery (including preparedness, eye contact, amenability of material to oral delivery)
- Material presented (including organization of ideas, depth of analysis, evidence of independent thought)
