|
A student must be nominated by a faculty advisor. It is the department and faculty advisor’s responsibility to review the student proposals for technical quality.
Who May Present?
Faculty advisors should encourage students in research, methods, or graduate courses to apply! Undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at CSU Stanislaus, as well as alumni/alumnae who received their degrees in spring, summer, or fall 2007 are eligible.
Students may submit a paper on any academic topic, provided the research is appropriate to the student’s discipline and career goals. There will be separate undergraduate and graduate categories.
Competition Guidelines
Students present their research work before a jury and an audience. Each student has ten (10) minutes to present their work and three (3) minutes to listen and respond to juror and audience questions. All entrants may use audio-visual materials as appropriate, and presenters are encouraged to use delivery techniques that promote interaction with the audience.
Campus Student Research Competition
Students selected by faculty advisors will present their work at a Student Research Competition on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 at the John Stuart Rogers Faculty Development Center. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend. Faculty jurors will evaluate both the oral and written presentations and select students to advance to the system-wide competition. The presentation rooms will have a data projector connected to a computer, as well as an overhead projector and VCR (if necessary). Students who plan to use the video projector should bring their presentation on a flash drive or CD or provide their own laptop.
Presentation Categories:
- Behavioral and Social Sciences
- Biological and Agricultural Sciences
- Business, Economics, and Public Administration
- Creative Arts and Design
Entrants in the Creative Arts and Design category may present an audio and/or visual record of a performance they have given or a work they have created; their oral presentation should focus on the rational and historical context underlying their interpretation of material.
