2008 EXPO Poster Judging Guidelines
- Participate in the Judge's Forum in the Gold Room at 8:15 a.m.
- Attend the Opening Ceremony outside the Ballroom at 8:45 a.m.
- Visit each of the posters you were assigned before noon.
- Identify yourself as an exhibit judge if the author is present.
- If the author is present, you may ask clarifying questions. It is not necessary to interview all poster authors.
- If the author is not present, please evaluate the poster without contact with the author.
- Use the evaluation forms to give a rating in each category as well as a summary score.
- Please stay within the 2-hour timeframe for your judging activities. This can best be accomplished by limiting the time you devote to each poster to no more than 15 minutes.
- Please complete this sheet and return it, stapled to your individual rating forms to the Expo Registration desk located on the first floor of the SUB by 1:00 p.m.
Presentations will be judged on a 1-5 scale based on written communication by the poster. Attributes of incomplete, complete, and exemplary presentations are given for guidance in EXPO preparation and in assigning scores.
