Resource 64: General Criteria for Presentation Work (Liverpool Hope University)

F 0-39 Work in this category will be very weak showing an inadequate appreciation of what is required for the examination. A few aspects of the presentation might show some degree of attainment but these will be outweighed by work which is inappropriate and/or under-prepared.

E 40-45 Bare pass; shows evidence of relevant material, and reveals limited understanding but the presentation lacks a structure.  Material is not well organised and the presenters show inadequate skill in the use of presentational techniques or visual aids, or a lack of ease which damages the audience response.

D
 45-49 Work in this category will be competent in some respects but will be significantly flawed in some aspects. The presentation may  be unfocused, or at an inappropriate level, or, may show evidence of a lack of understanding of material. The presenters may display limitations in their presentational  techniques or use of visual aids, or a lack of ease. There will be some elements which are effective but examiners will repeatedly be aware of a lack of success.
C 50-59 Work in this category will be sound and mainly competent, showing evidence of adequate understanding, skill and attention to detail. Presentations in this range may seem rather pedestrian or mechanical or will show some limitation or incomplete integration. Examiners will be aware that adequate work has been done and may have a sense of limited candidates producing honest and earnest work or able candidates remaining within an easy level of competence. The presentation will be adequate.

B 60-69 Work in this category will be detailed and impressive but will lack a completely satisfactory integration. The presentation will show attention to detail, effective use of presentational techniques and an appropriate delivery, executed with skill and some ease. Many aspects of this work will be admirable but limitation and/or unevenness will be evident, so that examiners will be aware of incomplete success. The presentation will be highly creditable but there will be a lack of precision and polish which characterises the higher category

A 70 - 100 Work in this category will exhibit a sustained excellence. It will show an integration of intention, structure and content. There will be evidence of attention to detail and control of presentational techniques, with presenters showing sustained ease in handling material and relating to their audience. Examiners will have a sense of validity and importance which goes beyond the recognition of work done to meet examination requirements.
