# TCM 2015 Student Presentation Feedback and Assessment Form

**Presenter**:

**Marker**:

**Topic**:

The highest possible mark on the presentation is 20, with 10 marks for
content, clarity, and organization (items 1-4 below), 5 marks each for delivery and use of
audio-visual aids (items 5 and 6 below). The presentation counts 20% toward your final
course mark.  Students will receive separate marks on their
presentation, although these marks will clearly be correlated since
you are both responsible for content and organization, and are
expected to coordinate with each other.
