NOTE.
Your grade for the group oral presentation may be adjusted (i.e., lowered) where deemed appropriate
(e.g., if you did not contribute your fair share to the group, if you were not a respectful audience member
for other groups, etc.)

Team feedback:
Overall, your team seemed to work well together and seems to share work and the presentation fairly. You
delivered a professional presentation. In which you all seemed to speak approximately equally. Your
background was simple without being overly so and was consistent throughout. However, there were many
differences throughout your presentation. For instance, there are changes in title and content font, use and
type of referencing, approximate amount of text per slide, etc. Strive to strike a balance between too little
and too much information on your slides. For instance, on the introduction slide it would have been nice to
see and hear some discussion of the difference between the 3 terms. Make sure to review referencing. Your
reference slide only contains 2 articles, you use more than this throughout. Also, your style of citing
sources on each slide changes. In some cases, you do not include the source, in some cases you use an in-
text citation style (make sure to review; initials should not be included) and in some cases you use a full
reference (review; this is not in correct APA format). Remember, for teamwork each team member is
expected to review all work.

Individual feedback: In general, you are a good presenter and were respectful of your teammates and class
peers when they presented. During your presentation you spoke clearly and made good engagement with
the audience.
