Q. What are the presentation requirements?
Students will have two options for presenting:
Option 1. Poster Presentation
Option 2. Oral Presentation (PowerPoint Slide).
Subject experts may choose to judge the poster or oral presentations, as the presentations will happen concurrently from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. Subject experts will ask each presenter (6-8 presenters total) 1 or 2 critical questions about their research, and complete a brief rubric accessing the presenter's clarity, delivery and overall presentation effectiveness.
