Judging for Event
Organizers also are securing faculty judges for the event. In this virtual context, coordinators anticipate that the time commitment will be similar to symposia in years past, but judges will have a two-day span to review assigned projects and to submit scoring forms. Additional guidelines and the rating forms will be provided before the symposium date. Beginning at 8 a.m. April 8, judges (as well as other attendees) will have the ability to review submissions on the virtual symposium site. Judges will have the ability to interact with student presenters asynchronously via the comment box. Presenters are notified by email when a comment is posted and, in the case of a reply, the commenter also gets a notification. Judging should be complete by 8 p.m. on April 9th.
Those willing to judge, please email the following information to achandler@honors.msstate.edu by March 28th: your name, title, department, if you are mentoring anyone in the symposium; and which area of the four categories you are qualified to judge.Ìý°ä´Ç²Ô³Ù²¹³¦³Ù Anastasia Elder, Shackouls Honors College Interim Associate Dean for Undergraduate Research, for questions. Also, please share the flyer and call for submissions with interested students, and the request for judges with other interested colleagues.
