How to Present & Judge Research Projects

Presenters:
  • Start by Introducing yourself
  • Discuss why you chose the topic 
  • Share information about the Problem or Issue
  • Explain the Causes (or Pros) 
  • Explain the Effects (or Cons)
  • Present the Solutions - Include your thoughts on the solutions
  • Share the graph, chart, or diagram you included
  • Tell the judges about your images, and what you are trying to show
  • Share your model and discuss what it is all about
  • Be prepared to answer questions from the judges
Judges:
  • Listen to the presenter share each part of their project
  • As they share score them according to each criteria.
  • Give them a score from 1 - 5. Be fair with your judging. You should have a reason for each score you give. (Scores are subjective, meaning that they are based partly on your opinion)
  • Once you have scored each category ask questions to the presenters about their projects.
  • Lastly, make any comments you would like.
  • Add up your total points and put the score in the space provided.
Now....
  • Find a friend and set up your project some place in the room or at the end of the hall. Practice presenting your project.
