The numerical ratings for the Content and Platform Skills sections would appear to be quite straightforward. However, some explanation is needed so that presenters are rated fairly and equitably. A rating of 1 or 2 indicates the presenter failed to do an even average job of presenting and must be appropriately defended in the comments box. Likewise a rating of 5 for a new presenter is quite unlikely unless they are a trainer or teacher by profession. Expectations of new presenters would indicate that several factors including being a little nervous or tentative would result in most ratings falling in the 3 or 4 category.
