The presentation met or exceeded the minimum time requirements. The videotape or storyboard was done creatively. The presentation was interesting and kept the audience's attention. 3 points: All four required elements were included in the presentation. The presentation met minimum time requirements. The presentation was clear and easy to understand. 2 points: Two or three of the required elements were included. Most of the presentation was clear and relevant. Time requirements were almost met. 1 point: One required element was included. An oral presentation was made. Students should be given credit for completing the Student Evaluation of the Community Service Project (see Attachment One).
