Poster Presentation

Time/Location

  • Time: December 3rd and 5th, 2:00-3:20
  • Location: TBD (but probably GHC4400, the hallway below LTI)

We will announce which teams will be presenting on which days in a little bit. If you have a major, immovable conflict that will prevent your team from presenting on one day please contact us via piazza and we will try to make accommodations.

Goals and Grading

The intention of the poster is several-fold:

  1. That you share your preliminary results with the TAs and instructor so we can give feedback to make any last adjustments to improve your final project report.
  2. That you can see the other projects in the class to learn from them and get any ideas that may improve your final project report.
  3. That you can practice explaining the work that you did.

The poster is graded for attendance, so you need to show up with a poster or will be graded down on the project. However, it is basically pass/fail, so basically if you show up with a poster you will not be graded down. That being said, putting the important information on the poster will help you get better feedback.

What information should be included in a poster? It should be mostly:

  1. What is the problem you’re solving
  2. What is your method for solving that problem
  3. What are the results

There is not a set format for creating a poster, but if you would like some guidance, I would suggest creating three columns, where the left one describes “1”, the middle one describes “2”, and the right one describes “3”. The middle one can be a bit wider.

Poster Printing

If you are a member of SCS, we suggest that you use SCS poster printing.

If you are not a member of SCS, you can send your PDF to the TAs no less than 5 days before your presentation, and we will print it for you.
