If a student does research in the forest does it make a sound?
We wrapped up our Summer ACRE projects this afternoon with our final campus presentations.
The students, faculty, and projects were all great!
Which is why it’s so important for students to practice presenting their research. So everyone else knows how great they are.
Which is why Kim Justeson and I crafted the ACRE experience to consist of three different types of presentations.
At the beginning of the summer, students did an elevator pitch.
Learning how to concisely convey complex ideas — and why you’re passionate about them — is vitally important.
During the course of the summer, each student then did a formal 15-minute academic conference style presentation.
They delved more deeply into their research, balancing what to say with how to say it (Thanks THR101!).
Then today they created an academic poster and did a poster-style presentation.
One summer.
Three presentations.
So, when Albright students do research in the forest (literally at Nolde Forest or metaphorically), they absolutely make themselves heard.
