The Rhetoric of the Experiment: Peer Review, Chalk Experiments, and Proposal Presentations

In this session, we will conduct peer review for rough drafts of written proposals, explore chalk talk experiments, and prepare for proposal presentations. Participants will learn how to effectively communicate their research question, methods, and expected results in both written and oral formats.

  1. The Rhetoric of the EXPERIMENT Day 3.1 Chalk Experiments

  2. What’s the Plan, Stan?

  3. What’s the Plan, Stan? • Today: • First Half: Peer Review of Written Proposal Rough Draft • Second Half: Chalk Talk Experiments: Translating written proposal into oral presentation

  4. What’s the Plan, Stan? • By the end of this week: • Revise written proposal • Turn in BY Friday evening (earlier is better- you’ll get earlier feedback!) • Remember to complete Cover Letter • Draft and practice oral proposal presentation

  5. What’s the Plan, Stan? • Next week: • Oral proposal presentations • Start working on the proposed research project

  6. Peer Review of Rough Drafts of Proposal

  7. Proposal Peer Review • Provide feedback on: • Is the research question clearly stated? • Does the introduction enable you to understand the rationale and importance of the research question? • Will the research methods proposed answer the research question? • Are the expected results considered? What about possible limitations/complications/shortcomings of the research? • Does the conclusion summarize what the results of the proposal will contribute? • Is the writing clear and concise?

  8. Your Proposal Presentations

  9. Proposal Presentations • In Science and Business, proposals are often accompanied – or entirely given – by presentation. • We’ll prepare a 3-5 minute research proposal presentation

  10. What should your proposal presentation include? • Translate your written proposal to an oral presentation • What is the minimum background information needed to appreciate your research question? • What is the research question? • How will the research question be addressed? • What results can be expected and why do these results matter?

  11. Chalk Talks

  12. What is a chalk talk?

  13. Chalk talk • Sketch out what you might draw • Think of what you might say to accompany it

  14. What did we learn from the Stage Fright Workshop?

  15. Give the chalk talk for your group • Record your chalk talk on your phone • Upload your recording to Canvas

  16. Talk Considerations • How much information were you able to convey in 2 minutes? • How were simple drawings translated? • How can you use these simple diagrams in your presentation?

  17. Prepare a 2 minute chalk talk • Focus on only 1 aspect of your proposal • A Research method • An interesting background fact • How you will interpret your results

  18. For Next Time: • Revise rough draft of written proposal • Upload revised draft to Canvas by Friday at 5 pm – earlier drafts will get earlier feedback • Remember to attach a cover letter (See Research Proposal Assignment Page) • Prepare rough draft of proposal presentation (5 min max!)
