Evaluator: Read before the presentation
Your role is not to encourage — it is to help. Those are not the same thing. Watch this presentation with the project criteria in mind. Take specific notes during delivery. Your verbal feedback must include at least one concrete, actionable area for improvement. A completed evaluation with only praise is an incomplete evaluation.

Dimension Scores
Structure
Clear opening, logical body, decisive close. Sequenced for the audience, not the presenter.
Audience Fit
Vocabulary, depth, and framing calibrated to this specific audience.
Slide Discipline
Slides support rather than compete. One idea per slide. Signal vs. noise discipline.
Delivery
Eye contact, vocal variety, pacing, use of space. Body reinforces rather than contradicts message.
Credibility
Demonstrates command of material. Handles uncertainty honestly rather than bluffing.
Q&A Management
Answers what was actually asked. Stays composed. Knows the boundary of their knowledge.
Clarity of Core Message
After 60 seconds, could an audience member state the single most important takeaway?
Progress
Compared to this member's previous presentation, what specifically improved?
Overall Score
Your holistic assessment of this presentation against the project criteria
Written Feedback — Complete all three fields
Name the moment. Anchor it to a specific point in the presentation. "Your opening worked" is incomplete. "Your opening worked because…" is useful.
Choose one. Not five. The one improvement that will move this presenter furthest. If you name five, you've named none.
Optional but encouraged: one technique or approach that would stretch this presenter beyond what they're currently comfortable with.
Any additional observations, timestamps, or specific moments you want the presenter to have. These go directly to the presenter after the session.
