Subject: 30 Second Pitch Evaluation (BUS-9552)

On 7/19/17, everyone in the class performed the 30 second pitch and per the directive, we rated
(on a scale of 1-10) each other based on the ten categories as indicated in the first column of
Table 1. The scoring criteria we followed is listed below:
Score of 8-10 (Exemplary)
Score of 6-7 (Competent)
Score of 5 or less (Needs work)

After compiling my scores in tabular and graphical form, my overall score and mean average
score were 7.55 and 7.32 respectively (refer to Table 1 and Bar Chart 1). Rounding down to
nearest whole number, my score comes out to be 7, that indicates that I am a competent
pitcher. However, I still need to improve in many aspects, mainly my grammar, facial
expressions and the use of appropriate pauses/emphasis in my delivery as I obtained the lowest
scores in these three categories. Additionally, I feel that instead of standing firm, I need to pace
myself around during the presentation.

Although my performance was better than the class average as evident from Table 1 and
Chart 1, but my goal is to be an exemplary speaker and I would work hard to overcome my
shortcomings.
