23 Feb This is for creating a poster for my human physiology one class. The poster title is ” The role of glial cells in the central nervous system”. PowerPoints should be used to create a landscap
health & medical presentation and need a sample draft to help me learn.
This is for creating a poster for my human physiology one class. The poster title is ” The role of glial cells in the central nervous system”. PowerPoints should be used to create a landscape slide that looks like a scientific poster. It should be simple and easy to follow. You can choose anything about the title, the role of glial cells, and make the poster on that; for example, the 3 or 4 main types of glial cells and their roles in the central nervous system giving examples and some diseases that relate to each being altered. The poster should use some references and have a reference part, this should be small but can be read. The poster should contain some images also and be cited and have legends. There should be a recording to summarize the poster and include any important information and messages to the people who would look at the poster. Please see the attachments which have all the information about this assignment and an example of an old poster. I also attached a templet that can be used.
Requirements: | .doc file
Poster title: The role of glial cells in the central nervous system.
Make the poster using PowerPoints and have in in landscape format.
make an audio recording for that poster so I can use it and make my own audio recording later.
1. What are we assessed on?
You will be assessed on the following:
(a) The design/organisation of the poster is it clear, readable, not over-loaded with text (but
making good use of the available space) and well-furnished with figures/flow charts?
(b) Oral presentation of the poster have you clearly and concisely explained the key message
behind the poster within the 3 minutes allowed?
(c) The scientific content is it relevant to the title and level of study, accurate and written in a
scientific style?
(d) References are these current, relevant and formatted appropriately using the Harvard style
of referencing? Are there a suitable number of references, cited in text?
For more details, see the Assessment Specification on the module NOW learning room (within the
Assessment? section in Content?).
2. Ive got my title, but its a big topic which aspects do I need to cover in my poster?
To some extent, its your choice. The titles given are deliberately quite broad. It is up to you to read
around the subject and then select the most interesting/relevant/presentable content to present.
You will not be able to include everything, so dont even try! Being able to identify the key elements
of a topic and present it as a coherent story is one of the skills that you need to develop as a
scientist, so hopefully this assignment will help you to work towards that.
3. How do I structure the poster?
Look at the example posters we discussed in the lecture associated with the assessment, as well as
other examples I have posted on NOW. This should give you an idea of what constitutes a scientific
poster. Also, refer to the GBA marking matrix within the assessment specification (available on
NOW) for this assessment. This outlines what we are looking for (and what we will award marks for)
in your poster. Finally, please note that you are expected to make an attractive poster by minimising
long paragraphs of explanation within the poster (see example posters on NOW).
Briefly, there are some key elements that any poster requires: a clear title, your name and an
introduction to set the scene. A good balance of figures/diagrams/tables/flow charts are also
essential for this presentation, together with a reference section. For any text, you might wish to use
bullet points rather than paragraphs.
4. Do I need to include a Conclusion?
This is not essential, and it may be quite difficult to come to any kind of conclusion in a poster such
as this (as opposed to a research poster, where there should always be a conclusion, however
limited/tentative). It may be more useful/appropriate to include a summary/abstract within your
poster something the reader can quickly digest to give them a feel for the content of/message
from your poster.
5. Do I need to include a Reference list?
Yes. References should be cited appropriately in the text (authors last name and year only, no
initials), with a Reference List at the end of the poster (see the NTU guide to referencing here for
further details). However, if you are short on space it is possible to reduce the size of the font (but
ensure that it is legible on the poster). Avoid including too many references (I would advise a
maximum of 5) and focus instead on the quality they should be current (ideally <10 years old),
relevant and ideally from textbooks, reviews and/or primary research (as opposed to websites). If
you can include some appropriate primary literature sources, then you will be given further credit.
Assessment Criteria
The marking matrix below clearly outlines what we will be looking for in this assessment, so please use it to guide you in your preparation of the poster.
