Work sited. http://www.lKwdpl.org/wihuhio/anth-sus.htm This presentation is a very good start. When it was presented there was too much reading off the screen and not enough elaboration. Bullet points would be much better with notes with more information. There are a couple mistakes that distract from the presentation as well. With a little polishing and practicing giving the presentation this student was able to pass with a second attempt. See the rubric on the following slide for more details.
