Judging Criteria for Presentations
Participants in the Student Research Week competition will be evaluated by two judges.
Topic Judge: responsible for evaluating the research component of the competitor's presentation or poster.
Layman Judge: responsible for evaluating how effectively competitors communicate their research to someone outside the field.
Basic Judging Criteria (including but not limited to):
- Ability to communicate ideas, verbally and/or in graphic form, in lay language (that is, in terms understandable to a person in any discipline).
- Clear, concise and well-written summaries and presentations.
- The ability to field questions from within the research discipline as well as from the public.
- Demonstration that the presenter's research contributes to the body of knowledge in that field.
Feedback
All participants will receive the judges' evaluations after the competition at the closing ceremony.
