Unit 5b Assignments
10/28/15
Cancer Poster Preparation: Groups will work on synthesizing their research into a single poster. The poster rubric file contains the required elements.
Please note each author needs to record a brief audio file describing: what they learned from this research project (metacognitive reflection on research process), OR specific information for their particular type of cancer, OR their poster while acting as a virtual guide or docent (only 1 per group for this option). The file will be linked using a QR code.
•Audio may be recorded using the free Clyp it site: https://clyp.it
•Record you audio file, listen to confirm
•“share your clyp”
•Once the file has been loaded, the internet address will change to include a file reference portion ex. https://clyp.it/gwugcze0
copy the file specific clypit web address
•Launch a QR code generator, paste the audio specific clypit address, and create a QR code
•Snip the QR code image, copy and paste onto poster.
Posters are due 11/3/15 and will be downloaded for printing on Tuesday 11/3/15 at 2:30.
HW: 12.1 and 12.2 C-notes w/RAR for 10/29/15

MLA in text citations on posters: To be more efficient in your use of space, you may use numbers based on the order of citation, then use MLA format in your reference cited section. For example, " _____ cancer is the __ most common form of cancer, with ____ cases diagnosed annually in the United States (1)."
Your references cited section needs to be legible, but can be a smaller font than your content sections, and would list the citations in the order they were used in the paper.
1. Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication. Date of access.
Poster Design Guidelines (from, "Scientific Posters" MakeSigns.com)
Many websites will have suggestions for the font size that should be used for posters, but keep in mind that each of these suggestions are based on a specific poster size. So, generally speaking a good starting point would be to use 24-36pt font, but most importantly… make sure the text fits! Once you have trimmed down the text to only what you need, put all of that text on to your poster and adjust the font size until it all fits well enough in the space you have. Keep in mind, each and every poster is different, so sometimes text will be a bit smaller, and sometimes it will be a bit larger.
Keeping in mind that suggestions are based on a specific poster size, here are a few general size guidelines for your scientific poster.
For The Major Sections Of The Poster:
Title: 85pt
Authors: 56pt
Sub-headings: 36pt
Body text: 24pt
Captions: 18pt
As For Legibility, The Following Sizes Are A Good Starting Point:
To be legible 6 feet use 30 pt.
To be legible 10 feet use 48 pt.
To be legible 12 feet use 60 pt.
To be legible 14 feet use 72 pt.
