Abstract :
The paper discusses effective methods of evaluating oral presentations for engineering professors who have questions about grading fairly and consistently. Recommended methods include establishing and clearly explaining specific criteria, devising evaluation sheets, videotaping presentations, and assigning peer and self evaluations. Two types of evaluation sheets are discussed: the dichotomous scale and the analytical scale
