Roles of the Judge
Evaluator: The main role of the judge is to evaluate projects and assign them a score. It is important that the evaluation provide constructive feedback. It is not useful to assign perfect scores to everything. One of the roles of the judge is to help determine which projects should go on to the state competition.
Motivator: The students should come away from the science fair encouraged by their participation with the science fair. The should feel that their project was assessed fairly and that they got valuable feedback on what they did well and on how to improve. The judge isn’t there to criticize but to encourage.
If you have any questions, Dr. Stromer will be available via text or email.
