ASSESSMENT OF PRESENTATIONS

10% - structure – introduction, main part, ending

20% - a reasonable topic, clearly described and analysed for the listeners to understand well

10% - good and relevant slides

10% - balanced contribution of team members in speaking

20% - good English, signalling language (e.g. Firstly, Now I’ll hand over to Jan. In conclusion,…)

20% - inviting audience to ask questions, dealing with questions (i.e. answering, reacting)

10% - each student must  ask a question about one of the presentations in the class – reading the
posters in advance will give you some ideas what to ask about, thus you collect more points for
your team


ASSESSMENT OF POSTERS

15% good layout

15% brief but informative

20% clear descriptions in good English (grammar, spelling, terminology)

15% relevant pictures, if necessary- explanations of some special terms

15% including sources

20% function – if it works well, if it introduces the topic clearly to non-expert academic audience
