Oral Presentation
- All presenters in session 1 must check-in at 8:15 a.m. in their assigned room (click here for room assignment). At this time, all presentations requiring projection (i.e. PowerPoint - Microsoft 2003 version only) will be loaded on the computer and the room monitor will verify pronunciation of names and titles. Oral presentations for session 1 will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.
- All presenters in session 2 must check-in at 9:45 a.m. in their assigned room (click here for room assignment). At this time, all presentations requiring projection (i.e. PowerPoint - Microsoft 2003 version only) will be loaded on the computer and the room monitor will verify pronunciation of names and titles. Oral presentations for session 2 will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.
- Each presenter will have 12 minutes for the presentation followed by 3 minutes for questions. In order to maintain a fair time allotment to all presenters, the time limitation will be strictly enforced. A timer will hold up a card at the 11 minute mark, indicating there is one minute left. At the 12 minute mark, the timer will hold up another card which indicates the presenter must conclude the presentation. If the presenter does not conclude at the 12 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.
