SRS Poster Presentation Evaluation Form

If you signed up as an evaluator for a Poster Session, you'll be using this rubric to review the posters:

Evaluator Best Practices:

1. Comments Matter: Use comment boxes as they make feedback more human.

2. Stay Positive: Mention at least one good thing about the presentation.

3. Be a Pronoun Pro: When referring to the student, use "you," e.g., "Your poster was well designed."

Good luck!
