Peer Review Guidelines for PowerPoint Presentations

Form groups of three and present your research to your group. The presentation should use PowerPoint/Prezi and it should be 8-15 minutes long. After the presentation, give feedback to the presenter based on the following evaluation criteria:

Content:

• Is the information/argument presented in a logical manner? Does the presentation follow a clear structure? 
• Do the slides maintain a balance between text and images? Is there too much text (paragraphs, complete sentences, etc)? 
• Is the presentation free of grammatical errors? 

Design:

• Do the slides display elements of effective design? Are fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc. effective, consistent and appropriate to the topic and audience? Does the slide design enhance the presentation?
• Have animations and/or sounds been used to emphasize important points? Are the slide transitions distracting or flowing? Are the slide transitions too fast or too slow?
• Are the pictures clear?

Presentation:

• Did the presenter look familiar with the material and does he/she not read from slides or rely on notes? 
• Did the presenter speak clearly and slowly enough to be heard by the audience?
• Did the presenter show enthusiasm for the subject matter and encourage interest in audience?
• Did the presenter make eye contact with audience?
