2024 TACOS Research Presentation Rubric

Please complete this form for each student presentation on your panel. Please bear in mind that you are assessing the overall presentation. Thus, if there were multiple student presenters on a project, all group members will receive the same scores and feedback.

Although students are not competing head-to-head with their research (unlike in a debate round), these scores will provide students some feedback on where they excel and where they could work on improvements. The event will also use these scores to determine the top 3 overall presentations during the conference. However, we ask that you evaluate each presentation on its merits based upon the rubric, rather than making a comparative assessment between different presentations.

Please rate each presentation using a modified version of the CARD speaker ratings. A specific wording for each category (evidence, analysis, communication, community) is included on this form. Your ratings will use the following scale (parenthetical explanations are provided to help you visualize the scale):

0 (Did not sufficiently participate),

1 (Poor. The student's conduct is counterproductive to this educational goal),

5 (Mixed. The student shows both strengths and significant areas in need of improvement),

10 (Excellent. The students work is exceptional in nearly every regard).

Presenter Name(s) and School *

Evidence

Students should demonstrate knowledge of the issues and ideas in the literature and the skill of using evidence to support arguments. Evidence is used in a diversity of ways and varies based upon the presenter’s goals. Uses of evidence could include: clearly citing and quoting evidence as authoritative support, using the research process to generate new evidence or understandings of existing evidence, demonstrated awareness of the broader research that evidence is drawn from, etc.

Please rate the presentation's use of evidence.

Clear selection

Analysis

Students should demonstrate skills in reasoning and evaluation of their topic. Analysis presents itself in a diversity of ways and can vary based upon the speaker’s goals. Uses of analysis could include: communicating the reasoning process or structure that links evidence to the presenter’s core argument, identifying deficiencies or assumptions in established literature, comparing and selecting arguments, refutation and defense of arguments, etc.

Please rate the presentation's use of analysis. *

Communication

Students should demonstrate skills in sufficiently explaining their ideas to the audience through communication. Communication is a rich process that involves emotion, character, and connection between the speaker and audience to establish understanding and persuasion about the merit of the student's arguments. Successful communication can vary based on speaker’s goals and style. Examples of communication could include: clear explanations of ideas and their significance, use of voice and non-verbals to convey emotion and character, moments of connection and checking for audience understanding, etc.

Please rate the presentation's use of communication. *

Community

Community is reflected in both a presenter’s content and their process of communicating. Students should work to build and strengthen human relationships through the research process and their presentation of their findings. Research and presentations should seek to nurture an atmosphere of respect and dignity for all persons. Community should not be confused with politeness or paternalism. Communities must also show respect for the significance of differences in identity, experience, and social power.

Please rate the presentation's use of community *

Is there any open-ended feedback you would like to provide for the presenter?
