Project Quality Expectations - general guide for all projects

General Project Expectations - Quality Work:
1. Your work demonstrates “Pride in Product”.
It is very neat and is of high quality.
2. Your project is written on a word processor. In special circumstances, work that is very neatly written in dark blue, or black, ink will be accepted.
3. You are careful that you have spelled all words correctly. Accent and/or tilde marks are included when needed.
4. The writing is obviously your own work.
5. You have your writing process is well documented.
You will turn in your:
a. outline/graphic organizer
b. a few rough drafts showing the revisions you have made during your writing process.
6. Your project is ready to turn in at the beginning of the period on the due date.
7. When presenting, you have made a separate copy of your project to use in your presentation.
Note cards are recommended over reading a sheet of paper to the class.
8. Your visuals are large enough to be seen from anywhere in the classroom.
9. You naturally incorporate your visuals into the presentation so they are useful to the audience’s understanding of your topic.
10. Your presentation seems well rehearsed: you are comfortable with what you are saying. You use natural pacing while presenting and are able to relate naturally to the audience using good eye contact and voice inflection.
11. Because of the pace of the course we do not have time to postpone presentations. Therefore please know that late work may earn 50% of total grade.
