We encourage extemporaneous delivery using a keyword outline. Explore conventions of language with the class. Students often underestimate the standards of discourse, using slang and jargon in professional or academic performance. Set standards of dress for the performance. Indicate basic standards for movement, gesture, eye contact, and vocal performance.
Expectations Match the grade to the expectations identified in the assignment.
A speaking performance requiring external research and significant preparation should contribute significantly to the student's grade. A short impromptu assignment may count as part of a participation grade. Reflect expectations in the criteria and weighting of evaluation categories. Determine the proportion of the grade to be assigned to elements of the presentation and communicate the breakdown to students as part of the assignment. Plan for Development and Learning Determine student skill and experience.
