Three Minute Lecture Critique

CS1

This assignment will give the student the opportunity to practice providing substantive critiques in a low stake setting.

For this assignment, students will evaluate a three minute lecture given by one of their classmates. The goal is for students to support their ratings with concrete examples from within the presentation and to include suggestions for improvement that are likewise specific and concrete.

Frequently, throughout our careers we will be asked to give feedback to others to help them improve what they are doing. Being able to provide constructive, useful, and thorough critique improves the performance of your team, reflects positively upon you, and builds good rapport with your colleagues.

This assignment can be scaled to larger teams with a minimum of 3 per team.

The technical skill varies on this skill, because practically any technical skill can be demonstrated by the student lecturer. Keep in mind that that the student presentation is only 3 minutes long so the subject matter must be scaled so that it can be presented effectively in 3 minutes or less.

This assignment can also be used for other courses other than CS1.
