Guide to Oral Presentations in Class

Elements of the Oral Presentation

Identify the author first, then the title, date of publication, and nature of book (e.g., memoir, monograph, collection). Describe the types of sources used in writing the book. Tell the main thesis, line of argument, overall structure. Be precise and substantive. Evaluate the book, e.g., its clarity, validity, strengths and weaknesses.

Criteria Used in Evaluating Oral Presentations

(1) Clarity of Expression. Does the presenter explain the ideas of the author clearly, defining terms when necessary, using any visual aids when helpful, and remembering that few class participants have read the same book and, therefore, all rely upon an accurate reporting?

(2) Comprehension of the Work. Does the presenter comprehend the work under consideration as evidenced by a presentation given in his or her own words, by an ability to answer questions about the book read, and by being able to make generalizations about the theme or structure?

(3) Evaluation. Does the presenter evaluate the book by addressing such items as its credibility, the sources upon which it is based, the method employed in research and writing, the effect of the time of its publication on the argument presented, the identity of the author, the suitability of its writing style, the logic of its argument?

(4) Organization. Does the presenter organize the material so that an appropriate amount of time is devoted to each topic being covered? Does the presenter adhere to the time limit within reason?
