How were 2013 UGRC Outstanding Presentation Awards Determined?

Awards will be given for outstanding student research presentations and posters.  The top prize for the best presentation and poster will be a $100 Amazon gift card!  These will be handed out during the Awards ceremony on Thursday, March 21st 3:30-5:00, honoring both faculty and students.

The Student Awards Committee determined the process through which their peers would get awarded. All participants of the conference could submit a ballot to vote for their favorite presentations and posters.  Ballots for presentations were distributed during the sessions, and ballots for the posters could be picked up from the Registration Table in the West Lobby.

For presentations, voters were asked to score coherence, communication, and appearance of the poster 1-5, 1 being the lowest score, 5 being the best score:

• Coherence:
  
  • What is the quality of the research?
  • Did the presentation flow from research context, to main work, and future directions?
  • Was the information well organized?

• Communication:
  
  • Is the language used clear and easy to understand?
  • Did the presenter answer questions well?

• Delivery:
  
  • Did the presenter speak at a good speed and volume?
  • Were the audio/visual aids useful?
  • Did the presenter connect with the audience?

For posters, voters were asked to score coherence, communication, and appearance of the poster 1-5, 1 being the lowest score, 5 being the best score:

• Coherence:
  
  • What is the quality of the research?
