2010 Seminar 3 Poster Sessions

All seminar three students (in small groups) will be presenting their scientific posters at Macaulay.

Students from different classes will be mixed together for presentations and audiences.
Content:
Posters/Presentations: Each group (3-5 groups per class—no more than 5, no less than 3, 3-5 students per group) will present a scientific poster explaining their research and conclusions. Professors and ITFs will assist students in creating effective posters. For the presentation, since the poster will not be visible to the entire audience (it’s a big room and people in the back won’t be able to see), there will need to be some kind of display that can be shown on the big screen—this can be a slideshow (Keynote or PowerPoint) of selected elements of the poster, or another type of multi-media presentation. It’s up to the students to decide what will work best, with the assistance of professors and ITFs.
All presentations will be limited to 10 MINUTES maximum (not including time for questions and answers).
Audience: The students who are not presenting will be the audience for the students who are presenting—and they should be prepared to be active audiences, listening and asking questions and discussing. Presentations will be mixed so that in most cases, groups will not be presenting to other groups from the same class.
Moderators: Faculty will volunteer to moderate. Moderators will need to be careful about limiting time for the presentations and making sure that audience members get equal opportunities to ask questions. ITFs may also be asked to volunteer as moderators. And of course Dr. Ugoretz will moderate, too!
