Criteria

Proficient = 15-20 points

Exemplary = 20-25 points

Presentation
Content (Group)

Credited elements are not addressed.

Presentation slides lack information
needed to understand the topic;

Presentation
Design (Group)

Slides generally lack visual appeal and

are text-heavy with little or no visuals
and/or exhibit an overuse of color or
animations. Media, (e.g., images), if
used, are rarely cited on each slide. No
theme is evident and the presentation
appears disjointed rather than unified
and/or frequent written errors on the
slides.

Slides generally include a mix of white

space, visuals, and/or text but not
consistently and/or some overuse of
color or animations. Media (e/g.,
images), if used, may not be
consistently cited to give proper
attribution. Theme (e.g., template) is
not consistently evident throughout
the presentation and/or some written
errors on the slides.

Slides are effectively designed with

visual appeal including white space,
visuals, and minimal text for the most
part. Color and animations are used
appropriately. Media (e.g., images), if
used, are generally cited to give proper
attribution. Theme (e.g., template) is
evident in the presentation for the
most part to produce a cohesive
presentation and/or little written
errors on the slides.

Slides are visually well designed,

aesthetically pleasing with
appropriate use of white space,
visuals, and minimal text, on each
slide. Color and animations are used
judiciously. Media (e.g. images), if
used, are always cited on the slide
to give proper attribution. Theme
(e.g., template) is evident
throughout to produce a highly
cohesive presentation. Basically free
from written errors on the slides.
