Each
SIG must focus on a specific question or
issue (exploring a controversial issue,
understanding a technique, new technological
advance, etc.).
|
|
Generally,
a maximum of 4 speakers, or a panel of no
more than 6 panelists, will provide an
introduction to the issue, pose questions,
and then open the floor for discussion.
Under exceptional situations and when the
theme demands, it may be possible to allow a
maximum of 9 faculty in all.
|
|
50:50
Rule: At least 50% of session time (45
minutes) should be used for open discussion
or panel discussion.

Meeting
attendees will be allowed to contribute

they wish to make, along with a single
PowerPoint slide, in advance of the SIG. The

selected, the individual would have no more
than 2 minutes to make their point during
the open discussion period.
