– Your Research Question (RRQ))

– Results,, Discussion and Conclusion (sspend more time here))

o Don ’ t forget to incorporate WHY this is an EJ issue

This format is similar to the str ucture of the paper.. Be sure to spend the maximum time of the presentation on your results and discussion sections . Each of you will have 1 2 to 1 5 mins for your presentations,, and 5 mins for feedback . Time will be kept strictly and you will be asked to stop at the end of 1 5 mins..

Things to keep in mind::

1.. Each student will have TWENTY minutes (aand not more)) for your presentation.. The time will be divided into 1 2 to 1 5mins for the presentation and 5mins for questions and answers . The time slot will be strictly adhered to . When you reach 10 mins , you will be given a warnin g on time.. When you reach your 15 mins,, you will be asked to stop,, even if you do not complete your p resentation..

We are ea ger to hear all the interesting results about the case you have analyzed , understanding how it i s an EJ issue,, and weather you were successful in answering your research question..

4.. Feel free to add pictures and graphs,, and other things to make your presentation visually appealing . Please avoid any vid eo link s . Si nce the time is short,, its better for you to summarize key aspects o f your paper in your own words..

You should be ready to share a few points of the strength of the research,, and areas of limitations where improvement can be made.. Let’s give constructive feedback,, where you can also suggest a possible way forward with improvements..
