BIO-5302 Research Seminar: How to Prepare, Present and Critique Posters and Presentations
This seminar begins with lectures on how to construct a poster or presentation for scientific meetings. Both traditional and e-posters are reviewed. The lectures present the elements of good poster presentations and several pitfalls to avoid. Students then write up an abstract and draft a poster using their pilot data which they then present to the course director for constructive review. The student then modifies and presents their poster in seminar fashion to the class. The audience is expected to ask questions and comment on the poster as part of their class participation.
