CONFERENCE OF SCHOLARS: RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS

Presentation Program (schedule, sessions, locations).

​

Presentation Overview:

• Total session time is 75 minutes (45-50 minutes for presentations, 20-25 minutes for discussion and feedback).

• Presentations should last 12 minutes maximum. Visual aides or powerpoints are welcome but not required.

• Q&A, discussion, or feedback to presenters should be held until all have had the opportunity to present.

​

Evaluating Presentations:

• Each panelist needs to complete this google form, assessing the presentation's use of evidence, analysis, communication, and community.

• The rubric for evaluating these presentations is a modified version of the CARD speaker rating rubric; evaluate each presentation in the areas of evidence, analysis, communication, and community (while recognizing what it means to do those things may differ from a debate round).

​

Submitting Final Research Papers:

• Those students with complete research papers will have their final research published in a conference proceedings hosted on the WWU Debate Union website.

• Final copies of research papers need to be received by May 15, 2024 for inclusion. They can be emailed to Dr. Travis Cram at cramt@wwu.edu
