Oral Presentation Rubric

communication core value checklist: Value 1: Compelling & Credible Communicators who enact this value make a case or provide materials that are insightful, thorough, and relevant for the audience. Value 2: Coherent & Clear Communicators who enact this value incorporate strategies to lessen the audience's cognitive burden for comprehension.

Value 4: Conscientious & Mindful Process Communicators who enact this value set goals, demonstrate resilience in the face of task problems, employ self-regulation strategies for managing tasks and incorporate feedback as needed.

What is it and how does it work?

Developed for Dietrich College to evaluate oral presentations across a variety of courses and departments, this rubric can be used in whole or in part to assess student presentations for evidence of student mastery of the Communication learning outcomes. This tool may be used with live or recorded presentations and is particularly useful for summative presentations such as those related to course projects, mentored research, and pitch competitions.

Which skill(s) are targeted?

  • Produce content that is credible and compelling to a target audience across multiple formats (oral, written, and visual).
  • Prepare coherent and clearly organized oral, written, and visual products based on purpose, genre, context, and audience.
  • Anticipate and evaluate how communication products are received by target audiences in order to respect diverse perspectives.

NOTE: While the rubric can be used in whole to evaluate artifacts for all communication competencies, individual row(s) can also be used if artifacts are more targeted to specific skills but not necessarily the full set.

Who has used it?

  • Dietrich College General Education Program
  • Emerging Leaders Program
