Writing an Abstract (question 6 of the online registration form)

Helpful Tips for Writing Your Abstract

1. Begin by developing a goal for your presentation. For example, “By the end of this presentation, students will be able to…”

2. Summarize the main points of your presentation in your abstract. 3. Make your abstract interesting! Your abstract is what gets students to sign up to see your presentation! 4. Share the abstract with someone to get feedback. Did the abstract get them interested in your presentation? Be

sure to edit your work! 5. The title of your abstract should be the same as the title of your presentation. Make it catchy!

Some examples:

BIM Title: Internship at America's Remote Help Desk My presentation will be on America’s Remote Help Desk (ARHD). I will specify and cover what they do and what their responsibilities are as an IT company. You will get a feel for what it’s like to work in a business environment and view things from a business stand point. General Title: Do you fear the Turtle? Getting in to the University of Maryland We applied to several colleges and determined that the University of Maryland was right for us. We will discuss the increasing selectivity of the University of Maryland, increasing number of applicants, and planning for acceptance into this university.
