These projects are small independent investigations using field-collected information and lab experiments. The actual data collection should take between 4 and 8 hours. Groups of two or three people will work together on a single project. This year the projects will explore in detail several profiles that we have described as a class. A methods paper that compiles the techniques you will use for your project will be due on October 22 .
Posters have fewer words and more pictures than conventional written or spoken presentations.
In a poster presentation, the written text should be subsidiary to the illustrations, which should display all the major results and implications. Writing can be confined to a title, an abstract, conclusions and captions for the illustrations. I will post a few examples of past poster projects. We will closely examine five profiles for these independent projects. If you haven't had a booster shot within the last ten years, please make arrangements through the Wellness Center to have a booster.
