Research Proposal Presentations
It's essential to understand that the paper itself and its presentation are two interconnected but separate aspects of academic activity. Thus, they are evaluated SEPARATELY. There are cases when an excellent paper is so poorly presented that the cumulative grade turns out to be much less than desired. This page is designed in order to prevent the mismatch in the quality of the written work and its oral presentation.
