University of Michigan-Flint

Oral presentations should be no more than 15 minutes in length. Ideally, you should prepare a 10-minute presentation and to anticipate a 3-5 minute discussion period. Oral presentations will be done in mediated classrooms which are equipped with a computer, a projection unit, VGA outlets for a personal laptop, USB connections, a document camera, and a DVD/VCR for your video/audio playback needs.

It is recommended that you bring your file on a USB drive.

Posters sizes should not exceed 42" x 56" (approx 3.5 x 4.5 feet). However, please note that only form boards of 36" x 48" and 40" x 60" will be provided. During your one-hour poster session, you will need to stand close enough to your poster to discuss it as others pass by. It is also recommended that presenters distribute hard copies of the research, summaries, or additional information.

The Office of Research provides free poster printing support for this event. Contact Andre Louis at alouis@umflint.edu for details.

Students can also conduct performances and demonstrations that include art, music, and/or drama. Wherever possible, performances will be scheduled with other performances and/or oral presentations with the same themes (e.g., Victorian arts, gender issues, philosophy of religion). The performance should not to exceed 15 minutes. A brief introduction should be included with the presentation, along with a brief discussion period at the end of the presentation.
