Hi Shamil,

Your evaluation sheet is good. You've made 4 broad parameters under which you've put the specific parameters. It's good to start off with.

However, if your objective is to help the presenter improve, then you have to provide feedback on the specifics.

For example, in your evaluation sheet, if you say he/she scores an 8 on professionalism, which specific sub-parameter was he/she professional in - attire, conduct, time, or closing?

I'm sure you know that in any presentation - as in any face-to-face interaction - the impact of visual messages is 55%, the impact of vocal (sound) messages is 38%, and the verbal impact (the words/matter) is only 7% (research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, California Univ.).

To understand this better, read the following sentence:

'I DID NOT SAY HE BEATS HIS WIFE.'

You can have at least five different meanings based on which word you stress/emphasize (try it out for fun... emphasizing the word 'HIS' has the funniest meaning! 😜).

This is an example of how vocal impact (the sound) can change the meaning and impact of a presentation.

There are other things to consider, which I will tell you later, like the type of presentation - informative or selling; the presenter profile - student or professional, etc.

Meanwhile, I am attaching a sample of an evaluation sheet which I use regularly.

To end, a quote: 'THE MANNER MATTERS MORE THAN THE MATTER.'

Regards,

Kumar

Hi,

Thank you for your comments. As you suggested, I normally practice giving feedback where the student(s) get the opportunity to know where they went wrong and what they did right. Your document will be very helpful in the future, and 55, 38, 7 is a very famous communication mantra. You can try searching for Dale's cone of teaching impact; it's very useful, and I believe you are familiar with it.

Thanks again and have a great day.

Hi, I'm glad that you found it useful.

Yes, I've heard of Dale's Cone, which is - despite being an old concept - very effective. Good teachers, trainers, and presenters use a mix of the abstract, iconic, and the enactive based on what is taught/presented. It has been a pleasure corresponding with you.
