Which presentation is right for me?

We will begin accepting presentations for Quint State 2015 in just a few short days!

Quint State has three types of presentations: posters, round tables, and presentations. Each type of presentation offers a chance to develop your research and receive feedback from your peers. So which one should you apply for?


Posters:
What is it?
A poster created of already completed work. Usually posters are 24" by 48" and provide a brief summary of the purpose, methods, results, and discussion of a research project. We will be accepting research and non-research posters. A research poster may be qualitative or quantitative and will provide information about the study completed and results found. A non-research poster can be a theoretical concept or a proposed intervention or technique. Posters will be displayed for an hour. During that time students and faculty will review the posters and ask questions of the presenters. It's a great way to find future collaborators.
Who should apply?
If you've got research project done or a great theoretical idea to share but aren't sure you're ready for a full 20 minute presentation, this is a great option. This is also great practice for anyone planning to take a posters to a larger conference like NCFR.


Round tables:
What is it?
A shorter presentation of a research project that is currently in progress or about to begin. After a brief presentation (about 5 minutes) students and faculty will provide feedback and ideas for the continuation of the research. Ideally presenters have a list of questions or areas that would like feedback.
Who should apply?
Currently working on a project but want feedback on the next steps? A round table is a wonderful choice.


Presentations:
What is it?
Like a typical conference presentation, this is an opportunity to present a completed research project. The presenter will have 20 minutes to present their research then 10 minutes for feedback and questions.
Who should apply?
If you've got a completed research project and want a chance to practice a full conference present ion and to receive feedback from your peer submit a presentation proposal!
