Project Presentation Grading Rubric (by David Duvenaud)
If you’re not very far along in your project yet, don’t panic!
The presentation is about explaining your ideas clearly and
concisely, and is only 10 minutes long. If you don’t yet have
results to show, simply explaining what you’re planning to do
and why is 100% OK. Note: team projects will be allowed
more time up to a maximum of 10 minutes per team member. (Thus
the presentation for a 2-person team should be 10 to 20
minutes.)
- Motivate and define the problem: 20%
- What new thing will we be able to or understand do if you succeed?
- Briefly mention related work: 20%
- You can leave this till the end, if you like.
- Explain at least one the main ideas of your project
clearly: 20%
- It’s enjoyable and a good use of time to listen to presentations if they also educate the audience.
- Show a draft of main figure: 10%
- Or show some sort of visual representation of the main idea.
- Explain planned experiments or show results: 20%
- Try to explain what we might learn from these experiments.
- Finish under time (10 minutes): 10%
- I will cut you off at 10 minutes sharp!!
