ADDITIONAL POSTER INSTRUCTIONS AND HINTS.....
Most of you will choose to 'construct' your poster using PowerPoint.
Here's how to set up your 'page' (or slide) on which you will create your
poster:
(Source:http://www.udel.edu/research/presenting/posters.html)
- Using PowerPoint
- Setting dimensions and
orientation is done in the "Page Setup" option.
- Select File > Page Setup...
- Select "landscape" under the
"Slides Orientation" option; set Width: 48 and Height: 36 (to
give you a 3 feet by 4 feet 'work space').
- Unlike a PPt presentation
(where you have multiple slides), preparing a poster requires
only one "Slide" with the above dimensions. Design the
slide by adding text and graphical elements (see the links below
for very useful instructions and hints)
- When you are absolutely happy
with your groups' poster, produce an Adobe PDF file representing
the poster.
- The Adobe PDF file is produced
by selecting the "print" option and choosign ADOBE PDF option
(this will save it as a pdf file).

MORE INFORMATION:
POSTERS WILL BE PRESENTED THE WEEK OF APRIL
20th!!!
The lab sessions during the week of Mar
30-Apr3 will be devoted to getting you started on your poster ('how to
create posters'). During this session, students will sketch out the
sections of the posters and start to think about what they will include in
each (e.g., flow-chart for the Methods section, rather than paragraph form,
etc).
Each group of 4 students will work
together to produce a group poster (Using PowerPoint: Instructions above).
Groups
will create their posters and ELECTRONICALLY present (in groups and in less
than 10 minutes, and that includes questions) them in Hay 201 the week of
Apr 20th. That’s correct…NO POSTERS WILL BE PRINTED OUT.
Rather, you will project you posters onto the SMARTBOARD in Hay201 (Saves
paper and ink).
Your instructors will give you a grading rubric for the poster as well as
the oral presentation. YOU MUST PRACTICE AS A GROUP MANY TIMES BEFORE YOUR
REAL PRESENTATION (get together for an hour or two several days before the
BIG DAY). All members of the group must assist in the presentation (e.g.,
one student walks through the Methods and Materials, another student
presents the Results, etc).
