Presentation Transcript

  1. CSU Channel Islands Mathematics REU Summer 2010 Creating Good Posters – see last slide

  2. Who’s attended/ presented in a poster session?

  3. What is a Poster Session? • Often found at conferences • Individuals/ small groups present their research in poster format • “Audience” wanders around, looks at posters, interacts with some presenters • Food often present

  4. Things to keep in mind when designing posters • Conjecture: Almost all mathematicians are shy. • Theorem: It’s hard to absorb a lot of new detail quickly. • Corollary: Its very hard to absorb complicated equations quickly. • Aphorism: A picture is worth 1000 words.

  5. Prepare to Present your Poster • Making the physical poster is only part of preparing for a poster session. • Interacting with the audience demands thinking on your feet, applying your social skills, and drawing on short, concise explanations without fumbling or mumbling. • Practice 2, 5, and 10-minute versions of your poster presentation. • Make sure you can sum up your poster’s key points and conclusions in 2-3 sentences. • Practice starting your spiel from different sections of your poster. • Think about which parts of your poster will be the most challenging to explain. • Anticipate people’s questions and how you will answer them. • If you produce handouts, don't substitute your handout for a good oral explanation--the handout is a "take away" piece for reinforcing your message.
