Evaluation criteria will include (1) innovative ideas/theories, (2) strength of arguments, and (3) in the case of a panel, unity of the papers vis-a-vis the topic of the panel. Please note that because of the high cost of renting AV equipment there may be a charge to presenters for use of an LCD computer projector."
