STUDENT SHOWCASE WEEK

Abstract Due:
___________________
Project Due: ______________________________

Student Showcase Week is a friendly competition to determine
who can come up with the most creative project that takes what you do or know
best and teaches us something about Biology 1107.

Rules: You may work with a partner or by yourself.  You may choose to either make an oral
presentation of any format (song, skit, power-point presentation, video, etc)
describing your topic or to set up a display featuring your assigned topic
(poster, sculpture, culinary delight, etc.).  Oral presentations will be limited to 10
minutes.  Please check with me if
you have an idea and are unsure as to its appropriateness. Your professor has
the authority to ask questions about your project, and your ability to answer
these questions will be factored into your grade.  Your grade is based on evaluations from
your professor and the individuals in the class.  One winner will be chosen for each
presentation day and will receive 10 bonus points on the assignment.  Honorable Mentions may be awarded for
bonus points at the professor’s discretion.

Below is the grading scale I will be using.
