 Be prepared to speak to a broad audience  Prepare and rehearse a two‐minute overview of your research  How to get the dialogue

started:

 “Do you have a few minutes to hear about my research?”  Be prepared for someone to ask you “Tell me a bit about your research”

slide-9
SLIDE 9

 Be prepared for informal dialogue  Anticipate questions  Your poster is an advertisement for your research  Provide a hook to draw them

in

 Present the highlights of your

research

 Handouts are optional

slide-10
SLIDE 10

 Assume your audience is not a part of your discipline  Define important concepts  Simplify the language and avoid jargon, especially in your verbal

explanation

 Use visual aids to explain processes,

theories, and outcomes

 Be sure to speak slowly and clearly  Remember the intonation practice from VANT 140  Begin stages high – ending low  Stress important words

slide-11
SLIDE 11

 Rehearse your 1 - 2 minute presentation to ensure:  You are able to present in the time allotted (<2 Minutes)  Your nerves won’t get the best of you  You present clearly and smoothly  You know what you want to say  You appear competent and knowledgeable  Practice one‐on‐one or small group discussions

slide-12
SLIDE 12

 YOU CANNOT COVER EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR RESEARCH, SO ANTICIPATE

QUESTIONS

 AUDIENCE MEMBERS MAY ASK ABOUT:

MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE RESEARCH METHODS

(DON’T INCLUDE EVERY DETAIL IN YOUR 1-2 MINUTE TALK).

HOW FINDINGS RELATE TO OTHER PHENOMENA WHERE YOUR RESEARCH WILL GO FROM HERE

 MOST QUESTIONS COME FROM PEOPLE INTERESTED IN YOUR RESEARCH THAT

WANT TO KNOW MORE

 IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER, SAY SO.

 THAT IS AN INTERESTING IDEA. I NEED TO INVESTIGATE THAT FURTHER

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Credit sources

 APA Style  Citations are important to support your work.

Be truthful

 Present problems encountered  Ensure you are presenting your research honestly  Do not exaggerate conclusion or implications.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

A Good Poster Will Have:

  • Minimal paragraphs of text.
  • The poster should read from top left to bottom right, like you are reading a paper.
  • Bullet points should be optimized.
  • Photos, graphs and other illustrations should be used to help visualize outcomes.
  • Make sure to have high quality resolution on the images. Try to use JPEG images.
  • Should summarize the importance of the topic, how it is being examined, and

what has been learned.

  • Your 1 – 2 minute talk should represent the poster.
slide-15
SLIDE 15
slide-16
SLIDE 16

 Practice your 1 – 2 minute “elevator speech” about your research

project

 Be prepared to have one‐on‐one and

small group conversations

slide-17
SLIDE 17
slide-18
SLIDE 18

 Have your poster ready to hang  Arrive early for your

session.

 Stay for the entire

session

 Do not leave your poster unattended  Get to know the research of your nearby posters  Invite faculty members!  Selfies are okay

(not too many and don’t let them disrupt the presentation)

slide-19

  • INCLUDE AND LABEL ALL GRAPHICS,

CHARTS, TABLES, FIGURES, AND PHOTOS

 Edit, review and spell‐check all elements of

your poster display

slide-26
SLIDE 26

 Posters should be colourful and

eye‐catching (but not overly colourful!)

 Pay attention to contrast when selecting text colors  Try not to put text over images

slide-27
SLIDE 27

 Consistent use of space  Leave space around images and blocks of

text

Good Spacing Bad Spacing

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Use of color

 Select colors the compliment and contrast with each other  Avoid extremely bright colors  Text color should contrast background color

Easiest to read: black text on a white background

Include color as design elements (borders, shapes, etc.)

Also ok: dark background with light colored text

slide-29

Use of text

 Select no more than 2 different fonts

Too many

GETS DISTRACTING

 And difficult

to read

 AVOID USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS

People read shapes of words Using all capitals distorts those shapes slowing our

processing time
