Oral presentations should be designed to share research through
discussion in a more formal setting than poster presentations. The
oral presentation should include these basic elements, or their
equivalents: introduction, objective, approach, results,
discussions/conclusions.
Oral presentations will be broken into 1 1/2 hour sessions. All
participants must sign in on the day of the competition at least 15
minutes before their competition session. The sign in location will
be included with your session assignment. Order of presentations
will be randomly assigned.
Each oral presentation is limited to 10 minutes, with 2-3
additional minutes of questions and answers following each
presentation. This time restriction will be strictly enforced by the room moderator.
You must attend the entire judging session. Leaving the session
early will result in disqualification.
Arrive in the presentation room at least 10 minutes prior to the
start time.
