Lab 13: last week of individual project
The purpose of this lab was to make our poster and figures as well as to refine our presentation.
Methods
- Create a shared google powerpoint slide with a modern background.
- Make sections for each part of a research paper abstract methods etc.
- Write a short summary of what should go in each section including important points and figures.
- Using the screenshots you have collected of your work create the figures you would like to use with labels and captions.
- Find sources for background information on your topic.
- Begin writing the abstract and conclusion.
- Check that the fonts are large enough and have enough contrast to be clearly readable.
- Check that fonts and outlines are uniforms.
- Organize the overall sections of you slide so that there is a logical progression of your project and so that the results are focal and easy to understand.
- Make sure your slide is inviting/intriguing and not too wordy.
- Complete each section and have each member of the group review the slide and make final adjustments.
- Decide who of the group will present what and address any common questions that may be asked.
- practice presenting with your group.
- download the slide as a PDF and submit it to your instructor.
Results:
We were unable to complete all the steps and we needed to work on our abstract, conclusion, and works cited.
Conclusion:
Making and taking a quality poster takes more than one class period.
Next Steps:
The group scheduled a meeting time outside of class to finish the poster.
