To be determined.
Video Presentation
Each presentation in this symposium will have two parts: a recorded video of about 45 minutes, and a live webinar of about an hour. Each speaker will record a video of their talk, which will be posted a week or two before the live webinar. At the live event, the presenter will give a brief recap of the highlights of the video, but most of the time will be reserved for discussion and questions from the audience. We therefore encourage symposium participants to watch the videos before the live events.
Nicholas Huntington-Klien's video presentation will be available soon.
Abstract
Students are full of curiosity about the world. However, turning that curiosity into a good research question that students can use to actually learn about the world is difficult. This presentation provides a blueprint and set of checklists for helping students turn curiosity into solid theoretically-grounded research questions, as well as evaluate whether a research question they have actually works well.
