More on What To Do

During the Poster Session there will be busy times (e.g., between classes) and very slow times. You will need to adjust your behaviors accordingly:

• Your poster should be in place on the bulletin board at least a ½ hour prior to the start of the Poster Session.
• You, or someone from your group, should be by your poster during the entire Poster Session, unless your instructor specifically tells you otherwise, and you’ve arranged to only be by your poster specific times.
• Stand most of time. One or two chairs will be provided every two or three posters; however, those are there for times when you are either very tired or no one is looking at posters. When someone is looking at either your poster or other posters nearby, you should stand and be prepared to discuss your project.
• It is particularly important for you to stand when faculty or administrators are looking at posters.
• Bring as little as possible to the Poster Session. You will be standing in the first floor hallway of Physical Sciences, so there is little room for stuff.
• Coats, backpacks, etc. will be checked in room 1180 – we will have actual check tickets for you, and someone will be there the duration of the Poster Session monitoring your stuff.
• However, the Psychology Department will not assume responsibility for any lost or stolen items.
• Everyone in your group should wear his or her name tag. These will be pre-printed and available to you at the Poster Session.
• You may be asked to talk to other presenters, and evaluate their “presentation” of their research. Forms will be handed out for you to do fill out after talking to these other presenters.
