This document provides a rubric to evaluate seminar presentations on a scale from amateur to exceptional. It outlines criteria for slides, delivery, documentation quality, conclusions, and performance in a viva voce. Presenters are assessed on the creativity and clarity of their slides, engagement with the audience, thoroughness of research, strength of conclusions, and subject mastery during questions. The highest scores are for presentations that are visually appealing, engage the audience fully, provide in-depth documentation, make insightful conclusions, and demonstrate comprehensive knowledge.
