FAQ

What is a presentation rubric?

A scoring table for a presentation. Each row is one thing you are marking, such as content or delivery, and each column is a level from best to weakest, with a short description of what that level looks like and the points it earns. Students can see what is expected before they present, and marking is quicker and fairer.

What should an oral presentation rubric include?

Content, organisation and delivery cover most spoken talks. Add Q&A if students answer questions, timing if there is a time limit, slides if they use visuals, and teamwork for group presentations. Four or five criteria is usually enough to mark in the time a talk takes.

How many levels should a rubric have?

Four is the most common choice. An even number stops markers from defaulting to the middle, and four levels are easy to tell apart. Use three for younger students or quick peer marking, and five when you need finer grading.

How are the points worked out?

The top level gets the full points for the criterion, and each level below drops by the same whole-number step: the full points divided by the number of levels, rounded down. Four levels of 4 points gives 4, 3, 2 and 1; four levels of 10 gives 10, 8, 6 and 4. The total is the number of criteria times the points for each.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Tap or click any description in the rubric and type over it. Your wording is kept when you print, copy or download, and Reset wording puts the original text back.

How do I print the rubric or put it in Google Docs?

Press Print rubric and it prints on its own, landscape, without the rest of the page. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog for a PDF. Copy table copies it so you can paste it into Google Docs, Word or a spreadsheet, and Download CSV saves it for Excel or Google Sheets.

Is anything I type saved or sent anywhere?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, saved or put in the page address.
