PS Persuasive Speech - Patricia J. Maxwell

Evaluation Form

The feedback provided by this form gives us an opportunity to grow as public speakers. For this reason, it is critical that as an active listener we commend the speaker on what the presenter did well in their speech by giving them high points and provide constructive criticism in assigning lower points in areas where improvement is needed.
