Sandra - Academic Writing S2012

Hey there,

I'm just about to finish my poster for the presentation on Tuesday. Or is not a presentation? This is not quite clear to me, however we're gonna manage it!

Creating my poster was a very interesting activity for me as I tried to put as much information on the poster but also tried to keep it clear and simple. Once I have managed that, another obstacle was put into my way: I just realized that my printer only serve a DIN A4 format and not A0, which size the poster is supposed to be!!! As I don't know anybody who could print my poster in such a short time and I have no clue where the nearest copy shop in my area is, I decided to cut up my poster and print the various parts of it on A4 and then I'm gonna glue it alltogther on a flipchart.

As I'm now looking on my finish poster, it makes me a little bit proud, because it makes me think of all the work that I have put into the paper and the course, but also because I can see my development and progress in writing academically.

So, looking forward to Tuesday!

Hello Sandra,

I talked to Mr. Brewster today. I understood that we will have 2 rounds during our poster presentation session. All students will walk around and look at the posters from the experts. The presenters should not explain their poster, but should start a discussion and answer questions of the others.

Your poster should be self-explanatory, meaning that the less you have to explain to the others, the better.

I hope this answered your question :)

See you tomorrow,

Nina
