GRAPHS – (10 EC possible – must be labeled clearly & completely; also must be explained well in presentation)

“Dressed up” and While an attempt was professional in appearance – made, presenter is not impressive! “wowing” us with their presence… remember, you’ve got to distinguish yourself. Presentation was ‘perfect.’ Close to ‘perfect,’ but… Student talked slowly, clearly and loudly, but kept the audience’s attention. – excellent! Very professional; presenters took their job seriously. 3 graphs included: 1 Two graphs of some climate graph (ºF/inches of type, or one graph if it precip.), plus 2 others – is the climate graph. either bar, pie, or line in type.

Presenter may have dressed up a bit, but elements of attire suggest lack of concern for details in looking sharp. Some effort was put into time/timing, but presentation was not very effective.

Only 1 graph of some type.

Presenter is dressed in typical daily attire… not ready for a professional presentation with their dress. Proper consideration to time and timing was not given. Student mumbled, spoke too quickly, or lost the audience’s attention. No graphs in presentation.
