Assignment 7: Presentation Critique
The purpose of the critique is to help the presenter improve the slide preparation and presentation technique and to give the student evaluator additional perspectives into delivering presentations. Evaluators should make note of aspects of the visual and vocal presentation that facilitated professional communication as well as aspects that interfered with communication.
The evaluation includes written comments regarding each of the evaluation criteria. The purpose of this section is to help the presenter improve his/her future presentations. Evaluators should make note of both positive aspects as well as things that could have been improved.
All comments should be constructive and professional; harsh, derogatory, or mean-spirited comments are unacceptable. Give specific comments and make specific recommendations.
The evaluation also involves rating each of the main evaluation criteria: Delivery, Introduction, Content, Closing, Visuals, and Technology. Each criterion should be rated on a scale of 5 (excellent) through 1 (poor).
Critiques performed by students will not be used to assign a grade for the presentation, so be both completely honest and respectful when providing a critique.

Analyze verbal and nonverbal techniques that enhance oral communication within a business and/or professional context.
