Labs: Module 5

As you know from the syllabus, you have an assignment next week in labs:

Lab session during Module 5, Week of February 6th Poster Presentation.  An impromptu group presentation of a poster will take place in a lab during the week of Module 5, and will be assessed by the TA. (10%)

In order to enable you to use your time most effectively, I suggest that you come to your lab having read one of the following articles. That way, you will be able to spend your time only on the creation and then presentation of your poster.

Regarding the poster format, you can use any computer programme you prefer but previous students noted PowerPoint as easy to use.

Please see here for more information about the assignment and the rubric.


Note: We have tried to choose articles that will be of interest to all disciplines in our ALES204 class.
