Session 2 - Elevator Pitch

This workshop session focuses on developing clear, concise articulation of the research through the elevator pitch, a two-minute summary designed to engage and inform non-experts. The primary objective of this session is to ensure that participants clearly understand their specific research article. Participants will first explore different types of academic research papers and the IMRAD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) to better understand how research is organized. The session also introduces feedback literacy, guiding participants in effectively giving and receiving constructive feedback.
