• Your team will prepare a single scientific poster.
  
  • Remember, this poster is a TEAM project, and each member will receive the SAME grade.
    Therefore, EACH of you is responsible for the ENTIRE poster, not just the part(s) you worked on.
  • The poster, which is 35% of your final grade, is how we evaluate your understanding of the molecular biology used in our laboratory investigation and your ability to communicate your findings in an appropriate and accurate manner.
  • Unlike BIOC 311 where you prepared rough drafts of each section of the paper and received feedback from me on how to improve those sections for the final paper, you do not prepare a "poster rough draft." There is no prescriptive checklist to follow while preparing your poster; you are expected to use the guidelines and resources we give you along with the tools you've acquired throughout your undergraduate training to prepare a professional, effective poster.
  • We will use the BIOC 413 Poster Evaluation Form [available in OWL-Space Resources] to grade your poster.
    Poster CONTENT accounts for 75% of your grade; poster APPEARANCE accounts for 25%.
  • See resources in Rice Canvas to help you prepare your poster.
  
  
• Please read my Honor Code Policy for BIOC 413.
  
• You will be asked a question(s) about your poster to test your knowledge and expertise.
  Thus, you are expected to understand the rationale behind all of the experimental procedures, the meaning of the results, and the conclusions from the study.
  
  Your posters will be available to you at the Q/A session; therefore, a really good poster may help you with your answer.
