Bonus Points.

Each of you is required to produce a score sheet for each talk.  If you score the talks conscientiously, that is you provide written answers to the first two questions and comments for the questions in the table, you will receive 10 bonus points.  If your responses are deemed flippant on average, you will receive no bonus points. 

 

Initial Condition 50 pt.

Each speaker starts with 50 pt, 5 pt for each category.  If you give a score less than 5 pt, please justify with a comment.  For example, you might give a lower score for Organization & Clarity if you cannot read the text on the view graph, if plots are not labeled.  In these cases you would comment, text too small or no labels on plots.

 

Other Ways to Loose Points

If you do not give your talk or you do not grade the talks, you will receive 0 points for your talk score.  If you are late, you will receive no bonus points and you will loose 10 pt for each talk you do not grade or are not present to hear.  If you miss three talks, for example, 70 pt is the highest score you could receive for your talk!.
