Judging
Once the research paper and the portfolio have been turned in, the student is given a week, give or take a few days, to prepare a presentation speech. The presentation usually accounts for a large proportion of the overall project grade. In order to be successful in such a presentation, one must meet the time requirements that have been set, have a clear visual aid, and the speech must have some organization. Students present their projects before the aforesaid judges, which usually five or more are present. Each gives their own opinion and grade. Also present are the other students who will be presenting and are grouped in a similar category. Also present may be junior observers, who wish to catch a glimpse of presentation procedure. Once graded, faculty members in charge of senior projects will review the scores and remove the highest and lowest scores to remove any possible bias. This average is then averaged out with the portfolio and research paper grades.

Famous quotes containing the word judging:
“It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“The sure way of judging whether our first thoughts are judicious, is to sleep on them. If they appear of the same force the next morning as they did over night, and if good nature ratifies what good sense approves, we may be pretty sure we are in the right.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
““you were with me all day; stood with me, sat with me, talked with me, looked at me, ate with me, drank with me; and yet, your last act was to clutch for a monster, not only an innocent man, but the most pitiable of all men. So far may even the best man err, in judging the conduct of one with the recesses of whose condition he is not acquainted.””
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
