You will be scored on the following criteria. I will add in weight for the group rankings as voted on by the class.
Criterion | Weak | Adequate | Strong |

The team showed clearly how to do these tricks, including obvious alternatives to major steps (e.g. "you can cut by highlighting & backspacing or by using the little scissors icon"). | |||
The team explained the technical terms they used and the steps needed to do these tricks. Adequate support (for instance prepared documents to cut & paste, etc.) was provided to all members of the audience. | |||
The team showed good teamwork skills in dividing the labor and supporting each other throughout the presentation; all team members were visibly involved--none were just holding up walls. | |||
The presentation showed physical polish (confidence, evidence of rehearsal, good eye contact, avoidance of verbal distractors, avoidance of visible nervousness, no major computer glitches, etc.) | |||
The presenters addressed questions and concerns accurately and effectively. | |||
The handout was clear and attractively designed | |||
The handout was coherently designed and executed. | |||
