Each year during the California State University Student Research Competition students compete for cash awards by presenting orally before a panel of judges and audience. Student presentations and written summaries are competitively evaluated on clarity of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation of results, value of the research or creative activity, ability to articulate the research or creative activity, organization of the material presented, and the ability to handle questions from the judges and audience.
