Essential to the success of the 3MT competition is the participation of presentation judges! If you would like to be a judge for 3MT @UBC, please contact us. Judges are needed for departmental heats, semi-finals and finals.
Once you have been successfully chosen to be a judge, you will be evaluating the participants on the following:
1. Comprehension & Content:
- Did the presentation provide clear background and significance to the research question?
- Did the presentation provide clear positionality of the presenter to the research and research approach?
- Did the presentation clearly describe the research strategy/design and the results/findings of the research?
- Did the presentation clearly describe the (or potential) conclusions, outcomes and impact of the research
- Was the PowerPoint slide well-defined? Did the slide enhance the presentation?
2. Engagement & Communication:
- Was the oration delivered clearly?
- Was the language appropriate for a non-specialist audience?
- Did the presenter convey enthusiasm for the research, capture & maintain the audience’s attention?
Please note: video and sound quality of live virtual event presentations will NOT be part of the adjudication criteria
