Introduction: Design of a standardized rubric for measuring student performance in presentations is a critical issue. Materials and Methods: Thirty male students (Group I) and thirty female students (Group II) participated in this study. Likert scale was used (excellent, good, average, and unsatisfactory). It was used against the itemized criteria (introduction, content, slide arrangement, written work, delivery and use of references). Results: high Cronbach's alpha reliability of the rubric was found in either Group I (0.945) or Group II (0.878) where it is slightly higher in the Group I at the 5% level. Corrected item-total correlation for delivery variable in Group I is very weak (0.222) while correlation for reference variable in Group II was averaged (0.525). Conclusion: Group II showed higher delivery performance than Group I as Group I had a lack of English language proficiency, while in Group II, they miss reference citation which can be corrected.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a rubric instrument for assessing oral presentation performance in higher education and to test its validity with an expert group. Design/methodology/approach This study, using mixed methods, focusses on: designing a rubric by identifying assessment instruments in previous presentation research and implementing essential design characteristics in a preliminary developed rubric; and testing the validity of the constructed instrument with an expert group of higher educational professionals (n=38). Findings The result of this study is a validated rubric instrument consisting of 11 presentation criteria, their related levels in performance, and a five-point scoring scale. These adopted criteria correspond to the widely accepted main criteria for presentations, in both literature and educational practice, regarding aspects as content of the presentation, structure of the presentation, interaction with the audience and presentation delivery. ...

Aim: At the annual meeting of German dentists in Frankfurt am Main in 2013, the Working Group for the Advancement of Dental Education (AKWLZ) initiated an interdisciplinary working group to address assessments in dental education. This paper presents an overview of the current work being done by this working group, some of whose members are also actively involved in the German Association for Medical Education's (GMA) working group for dental education. The aim is to present a summary of the current state of research on this topic for all those who participate in the design, administration and evaluation of university-specific assessments in dentistry. Method: Based on systematic literature research, the testing scenarios listed in the National Competency-based Catalogue of Learning Objectives (NKLZ) have been compiled and presented in tables according to assessment value. Results: Different assessment scenarios are described briefly in table form addressing validity (V), reliab...

Rubrics for Dissertations

Introduction.

Rubrics used to evaluate research-based dissertation most often rate each section or chapter as well as the overall document. The section ratings may be holistic or broken down into components. There are examples of rubrics for the proposal and the final dissertation, as well as for the oral defense. These rubrics focus on many of the same dimensions used to rate papers (e.g., organization, thoroughness, mechanics, format). Rubrics for Written Assignments

Lovitts (2005) argued that faculty have implicit standards for evaluating dissertations and that making them explicit in a rubric makes evaluation of dissertations more valid, reliable, and consistent. In a study of faculty members in a sample of universities and disciplines, she asked participants to characterize dissertations and their components (i.e., problem statement, literature review, theory, methods, analysis, and discussion) at four levels of quality (i.e., Outstanding, Very Good, Acceptable, and Unacceptable).

Based on her data, she developed a table of the characteristics of dissertations of differing quality. For example, outstanding dissertations were described as

Original, significant, compelling, creative, engaging, interesting, and thoughtful
Very well written and organized
Synthesizing information and connecting components seamlessly
Exhibiting mature, independent thinking
Having a point of view and authoritative voice
Asking a new question or addressing an important problem
Displaying deep understanding of massive amount of complicated literature
Making focused, logical, rigorous, and sustained argument
Theoretically sophisticated
Using or developing new tools, methods, approaches, or types of analyses
Having rich data
Using analysis that is comprehensive, complete, and convincing
Showing significant results
Creating a conclusion that ties the whole thing together
Of interest to a larger community

On the other hand, unacceptable dissertations were described as

Poorly written, having grammatical and spelling errors,
Having a sloppy presentation
Plagiarized or deliberately misread or misused sources
Lacking in understanding of basic concepts, processes, or conventions of discipline
Lacking careful thought
Looking at a problem that is trivial, weak, unoriginal, or already solved
Misunderstanding or missing relevant literature
Making a weak, inconsistent, self-contradictory, unconvincing, or invalid argument
Not handling theory well, neglecting theory, or missing theory
Relying on inappropriate of incorrect methods
Presenting data that are flawed, wrong, false, or misrepresented
Using wrong, inappropriate, incoherent, or confused analysis
Including results that are obvious, already known, unexplained, or misinterpreted
Having unsupported or exaggerated interpretation
Failing to make a contribution

These descriptions could be used as a basis for a rubric to rate dissertations. Lovitts concluded that such a rubric could be used as a teaching tool during the dissertation process. Distributing it to students would set clear expectations at the outset and filling it out periodically would allow the advisor and student to evaluate progress and areas for improvement. Thus, the rubric can be a tool for faculty to provide feedback and establish benchmarks against which students can subsequently evaluate their own work. It can also be used in peer review, with students evaluating the work of their peers to provide an additional source of feedback. How to Grade a Dissertation

These are example of dissertation-related rubrics developed by Alliant schools and programs.
