Delete this text and insert comment hereOral Discourse was evaluated in CHEM 352 (Chemistry Senior Seminar) or as apart of CHEM 398 (Chemistry Honor Thesis) both senior level courses offered only in the spring semester. 27 students were evaluated. One student had to do a make-up and only had one evaluator. For the purposes of reporting this one data point was removed. The remaining 26 students were evaluated by 3-4 faculty members of the department using a standard rubric for Oral Discourse. The evaluators 4-1 ratings in three different criteria were tallied and averaged. If the average was above 3.7 the student was said to exceed expectations, if the average was between 3.0 - 3.7 the student was said to be meeting expectations, in the average was between 2.0 - 3.0 the student was said to be approaching expectations and an average score of less than 2.0 the student was said to be not meeting expectations. Inter-rater reliability amongst the evaluators is a serious problem despite the use of a standard rubric. The department rejected the suggestion of meeting after the first talk and agreeing upon the application of the rubric due to time commitments.
