SRS Oral Presentation Evaluation Form

If you signed up as an evaluator for the Oral Presentation, this is the rubric that you'll be using to review the speech.

Evaluator Best Practices:

1. Comments Matter: Use comment boxes as they make feedback more human.

2. Stay Positive: Mention at least one good thing about the presentation.

3. Be a Pronoun Pro: When referring to the student, use "you," e.g., "Your speech was engaging."

Good luck!
