Intended as a companion to Lecture Preparation Guide, this booklet contains information for evaluating lectures, including guidelines and evaluation checklists. In part one, the student learns how to rate presentations on an evaluation checklist, how to record the ratings on the checklist, how to check the ratings by comparing them to the ratings agreed upon by a panel of experienced speakers, and what constitutes acceptable performance for each item on the checklist. Students then apply the acquired evaluation skills in part two by viewing a series of filmed speeches and comparing their ratings of the speeches with those arrived at by a panel. Since the main ingredient in improving presentation techniques is practice, part three suggests procedures to follow for obtaining experience and feedback. Part four suggests specific exercises to remedy and improve lecture presentation methods. An answer booklet for Effective Presentation Techniques is included so that students can evaluate their performances and the performance of others. (RB)
