13th Annual Randy Kobes Undergraduate Research Symposium
The 13th annual Randy Kobes Undergraduate Research Symposium displays some of the excellent quality research by undergraduate students at The University of Winnipeg. The competition is a valuable opportunity for students to obtain experience in presentations of scientific research especially if a student plans to continue with graduate work.
During the competition, students will be judged many times over a period of 1 hour in the morning. Each session consists of a 5-minute oral presentation of their research, followed by time for questions. Due to the wide range of topics displayed, the poster and presentation should be aimed at the level of an (informed) general public because the judges are not experts in all the fields presented.
NEW: Do you want to make the best poster and presentation you possibly could? Do you want tips from experienced judges as to what they are looking for in a winning poster? Do you want tips on how to explain your complicated research to a general public audience? Please join us on Wednesday, August 1st from 12:30 – 1:20pm in room 2M70. An experienced judge will present their expectations when judging posters and provide examples of what they enjoyed and what could have been improved from students. A member of the organizing committee will also summarize judges’ comments from previous years and go over tips for effective communication. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to fine-tune your presentation skills. It could result in winning this years’ cash prize!
Cash prizes awarded to the top three posters!
