Generic Presentation Evaluation 1.What was the overall purpose of the speech. Try to restate or summarize the main point. How well was it addressed? To explain why marijuana should be legalized. He had two reasons which were medical uses of marijuana, and reducing the black market. The purpose of the speech and main points were clearly addressed as the speaker had a clear organization of his speech with good transitions.
2.Was there a hook? Was it effective? How could it have been improved? The speaker began his presentation with a question that was relevant to the topic, “What comes to your mind when you think of legalizing weed?” I think it was effective because the presenter asked a question about one of the well-known controversial issues that students would be interested. I think it would have been better if he had some audience to actually respond to his question to make the presentation seem more lively and interactive.
3.Was the structure logical? Point supported by evidence or examples? Good transitions between ideas? The structure was logical. The presenter suggested specific examples in U.S. and research findings which were all relevant to the points that he was making. Also, clear use of transitions such as “first”, “second”, and “for these reasons” helped the audience to follow the structure of his presentation.
4.Was the conclusion concise? Were main points restated or summarized? Was the closing memorable? The conclusion was concise. The speaker restated his thesis once more in the end to make his points clearer. Also, he related his thesis in the conclusion to the main points he introduced during the presentation. I believe the closing could be improved by making a more memorable closing such as introducing a quote or using a bit of humor.
5.Did the speaker use enthusiasm, pauses, humor, visual aids, The speaker did not have visual aids, but the organization of the presentation was clear enough to understand. Because he had lots of specific examples with surprising facts, it appealed to the general interest of the audience. I think the speaker prepared well in choosing his topic and coming up with the main points.
6.What did you notice about the speaker’s body language? Posture, eye contact, gestures. The speaker kept on looking at the camera which made me feel like he was telling his story in front of me. His posture was good, and his use of gestures throughout the presentation was appropriate and well done.
7.Was the volume good? Did the speaker enunciate and pronounce clearly? Could everything be understood? I think the volume and tone of his voice were good. However, I felt that his speech rate is a bit fast for the presentation that required careful explanation. It was difficult to understand some of his words as he sometimes spoke at a speed of natural conversation. Also, I think the speaker can speak up a bit more to make his presentation more intelligible and powerful.
