WHEN

WHERE
69 English Building
DESCRIPTION
For an audience of EOTU students from UIUC, 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 minutes
(no longer than that!) on their topics. 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.
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, April 24, 2006.
