JUNIOR TEAMS |

2. Describe the present status of your research. Tell us what you’ve accomplished toward the success of your project since your thesis proposal last spring. Most teams should have started collecting data by this point. Tell us how data collection is going. If you have any preliminary results, please share them! |
3. What methodology are you using in your original research? Discuss your goals for your research and product (if applicable). How do you plan to answer your research question? |

What Presenters Need to Know About Colloquia
- All presenters must arrive at least twenty minutes in advance of the start time (5:40 p.m. each night) in order to prepare and set up. There will be tech support available to help.
- Out of courtesy for all teams, all members of presenting teams must stay until all teams have presented.
- Each presentation should run about 15 minutes followed by a 5 minute Q&A session with the audience.
- All team members should be present and participate in some way (they don’t all have to speak) unless a student has a class conflict.
- All members should be dressed professionally.
- We strongly encourage that mentors and librarians be in attendance so they may give feedback on the team’s content.
- All freshmen will be completing a feedback form for each presentation. We will take these for attendance purposes and then will give them to you.
- Be aware that the freshmen are coming up with some very good and challenging questions for our presenters. Please come prepared to handle all kinds of questions!
