## Assessment

Different types of speaking assignments ask for different assessments; for example, doing a presentation says little to nothing about your ability to listen and respond to someone, whereas doing a drama piece says little to nothing about your ability to formally present yourself in a job interview.

Therefore, I will use the generic rubric below and give you additional impromptu feedback per assignment.
