Thank you for consenting to judge poster presentations. Packets with your forms will be distributed at the beginning of the poster session.

On each sheet you will see the poster number, the institution name, the name of the first author and one or two words regarding the title of the talk.

ECSC wants you to realize that students will have a high regard for your comments. So, if you cannot make an informed comment on the sheet, just do not make a comment. However, fill out the information you can so that the student will understand, as completely as possible, your feelings.

You may ask the poster presenter any questions that you like. You are the judge- the only judge. I will not question your motives. I will assume that you will give the best, most unbiased judgement of the posters.

I am also asking you to provide to me the MOST EXCELLENT presentation of the session. IF THERE IS NOT AN EXCELLENT presentation, then tell me that so that no award will be given for your posters. If you are judging more than 15 posters, I will listen to your argument if you want to award two awards for your group. You do not have to give your reasons for your choice. You will need to provide me with the sheet of the excellent posters so I can accurately write down the poster number (without making any mistakes).

I will collect from you all the sheets at the end of the session. I will need them as soon as the session is over so please make all the comments while you are viewing the poster or immediately after viewing a poster.

I thank you for your time and effort with judging. The Eastern Colleges Science Conference and I thank you for your best effort.
