Poster Presentations Measurements lab
Logistics • When: check schedule • What: present a poster during “poster session” to all students in group • TURN IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ALSO (worth 10 points) • Where: break out room • Who: your group will present your poster to the other students (who are also presenting posters). Planning on taking 5-7 minutes or so to orient the audience to the poster, and then allow viewing time and questions
How to make a Poster • Use powerpoint to create a custom sized document (under menu page set-up) that is 36 inches by 36 inches • If you think you need more room, you may go to a poster size of 3 feet height, 4 feet width • Title goes across top of poster, use a font of 118 pt (!), author names under the title, use a font of 40 pt • Text font should be at least ~28 pt and header should be 40 point font • References text can be smaller (minimum 16 pt)
What to put on poster • You must have: • Objectives • Background (physics, big picture, not from the procedure or background documentation - go do some research!) • Methods with schematic • Results • Discussion • Conclusion • References • Remember, references are cited on your poster
How to make it a good poster • Include pictures, graphics • Use color (for fonts too, charts) • Consider how to organize spatially - should be easy to follow • Consider putting results right in the middle of poster • Remember to make sure graphics can be view from a couple of feet back
Where to print • Print at the ITLL on a 3 x 3 poster sheet • It will cost you $6 x 3 = $18
