INSTRUCTIONS TO JUDGES
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this valuable educational experience for potential UAB graduate students.
Please rank the students’ presentations and their posters by using the questions and then circling a number on Likert-type scales on the evaluation sheets (1 = poor, 7 = outstanding). Click here for a PDF of the judges' evaluation sheet.
Be sure to write the number of the poster in the upper left-hand corner of the evaluation sheet.
Any additional comments or suggestions that you have for the individual posters and students may be written in the General Comments section at the bottom of the evaluation sheet.
There are no ties in this competition. Please write first, second, third, and honorable mention on your evaluation sheets for the respective winning posters, and return all sheets to a poster session representative. The representative will then tally the judges’ rankings for your session and hand out the award ribbons.
Thank you again for your time and expertise. If you have any questions, please see a poster session staffer at the registration table.
