Oral Presentation
- Oral presentations are summaries of research that should be accompanied by visual illustrations such as PowerPoint.
- The CHHS Student Research Symposium will select 12 abstracts to give an oral presentation. Students are required to indicate interest in giving an oral presentation in the abstract submission form. In order to be considered for the oral presentations, students must also display a poster presentation throughout the Symposium.
- All oral presenters must check-in at 2:30 p.m. in PSU Ballroom East. All presentations requiring projection will be loaded on the computer and the room monitor will verify pronunciation of names and titles.
- Each presenter will have 7 minutes for the presentation followed by 2 minutes for questions. In order to maintain a fair time allotment to all presenters, the time limitation will be strictly enforced. A time keeper will hold up a card at the 6 minute mark, indicating there is one minute left. At the 7 minute mark, the time keeper will hold up another card which indicates the presenter must conclude the presentation. If the presenter does not conclude at the 7 minute mark, he/she will be given another 30 seconds at the end of which, the room monitor will close the presentation and open the session for questions.
- Bring a USB flash drive or CD to upload the presentation to the computer provided in the room. Please ensure your USB drive or CD are virus-free.
