POD Commitment “I agree to evaluate your title and abstract in relationship to your verbal explanation with the same eager attitude and sense of urgency as I would my own title and abstract. I believe your title is an accurate yet concise way to introduce your project to the world. I also believe that EVERY word selected in your abstract is the best word to convey your project. If, at anytime, I have a suggestion to make, I will take the time to share my ideas in a thoughtful and productive way. I agree that I have reviewed, peer edited and approved of the materials this pod is presenting.”
