Listening to and Critiquing Public Speeches

Question 10 • *CR Speech (ELECTIVE, 1 semester, E6001OX)

What is the main problem with the following critique? “There is still some room for improvement, but overall I thought your speech was well organized and engaging. I particularly liked the visual aid with the bicycle, and the length was just right.”

Answer
A
It is not behavior focused.
B
It is not objective.
C
It is not constructive.
D
It is not specific.

Explanation

The critique gives some praise, but “There is still some room for improvement” does not explain what should change or how to improve. Constructive feedback should include a useful suggestion the speaker can act on. The main problem is that the critique is not constructive, even though it mentions specific parts of the speech it liked.
