* Did they attempt to answer their research question? 
* Did they describe shortcomings or next steps in this project were to be continued?	

### Overall Organization / Flow / Clarity [3 points]	
* Was the presentation structured well? 
* Did the team effectively convey information?

### Within Time Limit [1 points]
