Each written report is to be evaluated by two graders, one of whom is the student's mentor. When available, the primary paper is linked to the title. As they are submitted, the written reports will be emailed to the appropriate graders. The 'Type' in the table below denotes whether the talk is on the student's own research, R, or a subject from primary research literature, L.

Please use the Written Report Evaluation Form for grading purposes. Timely feedback for our students is important to all of us, so please return the graded paper, along with the evaluation form, within a week after you receive the paper.
