About the competition. Each spring the California State University hosts
the CSU Student Research Competition at one of its 23 campuses. The purpose is
to promote excellence in undergraduate and graduate scholarly research and
creative activity by recognizing outstanding student accomplishments. Each
campus holds its own competition to select a group of student researchers to
send to the statewide competition. Finalists in the campus competition will
receive cash awards and travel to the Statewide Competition in late April/early
May. Finalist in the Statewide Competition receive certificates of
recognition and cash awards.
Who is eligible? Undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at
Cal State San Marcos are eligible, as well as graduates who received their
degrees in spring, summer, or fall 2008. Presentations from all disciplines are
invited. Collaborative/team entries are accepted.
How does the competition work? After
submitting a written version of their paper, students are scheduled to deliver a 10 minute
oral presentation. The paper and oral presentation are evaluated by faculty
judges based on the criteria below. All entrants may use audiovisual materials
as appropriate, and presenters are encouraged to use delivery techniques that
promote interaction with the audience.
Entrants in the Creative Arts and Design
category may present an audio and/or visual record of a performance they have
given or a work they have created; their oral presentation should focus on the
rationale and historical context underlying their interpretation of the
material.
Students' work is judged on the basis of the five-page
narratives
(double-spaced, 12 pt font) and the oral presentations.
Each entry (oral presentation and written summary) is judged
on specific criteria. In 2007, the criteria set up by
the CSU was as follows:
·
clarity of purpose 15%
· appropriateness of methodology 15%
· interpretation of results 15%
· value of the research or creative activity 15%
· ability of the presenter to articulate the research
or creative activity 15%
· organization of the material presented 15%
· the presenter's ability to handle questions from the
jury and
the
general audience 10%
Top ranked students qualify to go on to the
CSU state-wide competition.
