Providing Feedback: Instructors

What Faculty Need to Know:

Providing timely and specific feedback on oral presentation assignments is essential to student growth. Feedback can be either formative or summative, depending on the goal of the assessment. Feedback will take time, but it doesn’t have to take all your time.

A speech rubric can help you and your students create shared meaning of the specific assignment requirements and ensure fair and consistent grading.

Examples in Action:

The way you provide feedback can vary in structure. The following documents provide examples of how to structure your feedback:

• Formative Feedback
• Individual Speech Rubric (NCA)
  • Holistic Evaluation Form

• Group Presentation Assignment
