Poster Evaluation Assignment

My primary goal with this assignment is to give you practice with critically evaluating research posters. This exercise and our in-class discussion should help improve your poster. Complete this assignment and submit it to Moodle by Wednesday

I also want you to consider that poster design and the appropriate level of detail may depend on the nature of a conference’s poster session.

Part 1:   View and evaluate the 2 posters I made available on Moodle. Consider the aspects you think the authors did particularly well and the aspects you think they could improve upon. Pick your favorite strength/pro and weakness/con for each poster.

Wierks strength/pro:

Glidden and Sherrard strength/pro:

Part 2: Follow this link (https://conbio.org/professional-development/advice-for-students/help-designing-posters), consider the point the creators of the page are making, and consider each of the 3 posters.

Which do you think would be most appropriate for our poster session at the end of the semester, and why?

If you were to change one thing about your chosen poster, what would it be?  [I recognize that the resolution of the posters isn’t high, so we can’t dig into the finer details of the poster & research here.]
