Guidelines for Oral Presentations:
Oral presentations will be 15 minutes in length, with 5 minutes for questions and transition to the next talk. Presentations should contain an introduction, an explanation of methods, and a conclusion or summary of findings, and should be aimed at a general audience. Visual aids should be used if at all possible. Slides, transparencies, or power-point presentations may be utilized in oral presentations if specified in advance.
Guidelines for Poster Presentations:
Poster presentations should be designed to fit on a board 46 inches wide and 40 inches high. Posters can be made as a single unit or in pieces. Posters will attach to the foam core board (provided) with poster tape (provided). Posters must be prepared so that they can be read from at least four feet away. Laminated posters will be taped (provided) to the foam core. Presenters must be available to discuss their poster during their assigned session. The poster should include the title of the presentation, the name of the student and the research advisor, and the department in which the research was done. Simply stapling a typed paper to the foam core board is not acceptable. Visual displays work best, with written information bulleted.
