| Guidelines for the student presentation | |
| Students should choose one paper from the current
literature. This paper may be on any
topic, whether relating to an independent study project or the student's
broader interests, but it should be from a peer-reviewed scholarly journal of
chemistry. This article might have
been identified during the online training sessions. If a student has an interest in presenting
content from an older paper, then the Science Citation Index should be used
to identify a current paper (which would be presented instead) dealing with
similar chemistry. The presentation should last no longer than 10 minutes, and the student should focus on summarizing the thrust of the article and/or explicating illustrative examples to a broad audience of chemists, but not specialists in the field. The presentation should NOT be an exhaustive description of all details in the paper. Afterwards, the audience member should feel that he/she is more informed and has a pearl of wisdom from having witnessed the talk. |
|
| The presentation style need not be formal, but neither should it
be too casual. Delivery should be
used to maximize impact and efficiency. The talk will be followed by a brief period for questions from the students and faculty in attendance. One copy of the paper should be turned into SSM before the talk is scheduled. The bibliographic reference should be provided during the talk, as well as references for further reading, if appropriate. |
