Sophomores Share Seminar Research in Online Presentations

Tandem sophomores wowed the community for two evenings this week as they presented their Sophomore Seminar research projects online. Students spent second semester researching and writing a 15+ page academic paper on a subject of their choosing. The list of fascinating chosen topics ran the gamut from rap music to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (see full list here) and these students really knew their material. After completing their papers, which included detailed footnotes and bibliographies, each created and shared a short video summarizing their topic and inviting viewers to come question them during their presentations. Sophomores were divided into four half-hour long presentation groups and online guests could join the Google Hangout for any desired topic to ask questions. The sophomores provided some really interesting insights into their topics; it was an impressive evening that showed their academic maturity over the course of the semester. Well done, sophomores!
