Fall 2005 Undergraduate Research Conference

 

Conference Schedule (html) | PDF (new window) | Word (new window)

WHEN
Thursday, December 1, 3-5:30PM

WHERE
108 English Building (see Map)

DESCRIPTION
For an audience of EOTU students from UIUC and ISU, as well as other interested faculty members and students, current EOTU students will present their inquiry questions and findings.  Light refreshments will be served.

ALL CURRENT EOTU STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO PRESENT.  WE WANT YOU (YES, YOU)!

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THIS
Participation in student conferences like this gives you the opportunity to practice speaking and presentation skills you’re likely to value now and in the future.  It also builds your resume.  More than that, the opportunity to talk and listen in this informal setting gives you an opportunity to learn what students in other classes are doing and thinking: the swapping and discussion of ideas and methods can help you firm up your ideas, identify new approaches to your topic,  and enjoy having your ideas taken seriously by others.

DETAILS
We ask participants to speak for 5-7 minutes (no longer than that!) on their topics.  We expect to provide a projection screen with a live Internet connection, so you can refer to your current Inquiry Page (or use PowerPoint, or display images relevant to your project, and so on), but the heart of your presentation should address your primary questions, the methods you’re using to answer these questions, and your findings so far.  To the extent that it’s possible, we will try to group students with similar lines of inquiry in the same time blocks; we’re leaving plenty of time open for discussion and questions.

TO REGISTER
EOTU has created an iLabs for this conference. To register to participate, you will need to provide your name, your email account, and your topic, and then tell us the times you prefer to present, and the times you can’t present.  You can use the List Tool on the site to provide this information: if you have trouble using this tool, email the required information to Gardner.   Please note that the deadline for registration is Monday, November 28, 2005 (the first day of classes after Fall Break).
