Comments from Previous Semesters
  • The Good
    • Good volume and confidence in speaking
    • Definitely did her/his homework, good job (speaker's understanding)
    • Good reasonable answers logical thought progression and answered with confidence
    • Good job from your brain, and not notes!
    • Good organization of slides. Very neat and not too busy.
    • WONDERFUL!! This was a real seminar with real data
    • Explained ideas well and introduced future information as well as touching on past ideas
    • Good graphs and pictures as well as understandable explanations of them
    • Your preparation was evident
    • Very good professional, clear, easy to hear!
    • Good steady pace, hit time limit pretty much dead on
    • Seems to have good grasp of topic
    • Broad range of knowledge, comes up with good explanations
  • The Bad
    • Some reading (of slides, notes)
    • Keeps good contact with the audience but speaks too fast to understand at times; horrible grammar gaps
    • A large # of areas not clearly explained and linked
    • Good diction; QUIT PACING!!
    • Could tie the ideas together and transition better
    • A bit choppy, could complete your sentences & take a deep breath
    • A bit fast (pace) and ran a little short
    • Not a lot of chemistry beyond general chemistry
  • The Ugly
    • WHERE'S THE CHEMISTRY?? Didn't seem to know a lot about the topic
    • No chemistry of any kind for 10 minutes!! Then it was just a picture of a molecule
    • Did you find ANY specific information? Seems like you relied on the internet too much and scientific literature too little
    • Look at the audience, not the slides
    • Too much writing on some slides, text too small, too many words; figures too small and hard to see (especially structures)
    • I can barely hear this talk, you CAN NOT speak in your normal, conversational voice
    • Should have understood [all topics in your seminar]; should have known the purpose of [all components of your seminar]
    • Seemed a bit short; so where is the chemistry? Seemed like a medical conference
