Explain the steps to be followed while using the Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (HCTSR) to evaluate a presentation.

To apply the HCTSR, determine which level of the Rubric best describes the quality of the reasoning process used to reach the conclusions or positions advanced by that presentation. Use the descriptions of the positives or negatives in each category to locate the overall quality of the critical thinking process being evaluated. Make a holistic judgment about which of the four categories fits best.
