Poster Presentations: Each student will be required to present a summary of the research paper to the class. Poster presentations are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program. Research posters summarize study results concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion.
The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. At a conference, the researcher stands by the poster display while other participants can come and view the presentation and interact with the author.
