    Organization & Flow Follows the required outline (Hook, Methods, Results, Significance) in a logical order. Follows most of the outline, but some sections are missing or disorganized. Does not follow the outline; presentation lacks structure.
    Visual Integration Seamlessly uses the infographic to explain the research; visual aids are clear and professional. Uses the infographic, but does not clearly explain how it relates to the spoken points. Infographic is not used or is not visible during the presentation.
    Content Depth Clearly explains the research questions, methods, and why the results matter. Explains the topic but lacks detail on the specific research process or “why we should care.” Content is superficial or does not address the research findings.
    Delivery & Presence Speaker is engaging, well-practiced, and clearly explains the importance of the topic. Speaker is mostly clear but relies heavily on notes or lacks eye contact. Delivery is difficult to follow or the importance of the topic is not stated.

    Presentation Tips for Success

    • The “Hook”: Start strong. Since you’re explaining why this is important to you, your personal connection will help grab the audience’s attention right away.
    • Infographic as a Map: Don’t just show the infographic; use it as your “script.” Point to the 10 pieces of info as you talk through your results.
    • The 5-Minute Drill: 5 minutes goes by faster than you think! Spend about 1 minute on the intro/hook, 1 minute on methods, 2 minutes on results, and 1 minute on the “why it matters” conclusion.
