Q The final visual product for your group's research study is a research poster. This poster will be made as though you will present it at a research conference, and it will provide the basis for your group's poster presentation. The poster is worth 40 points, and will receive one group grade. Be sure to check the rubric below for detailed expectations (look under "View Longer Descriptions"). In general, I am looking for thoughtful and complete content, neat and functional appearance, and a lack of errors in writing, interpretation, or formatting. Refer to the Poster Templates and Examples and Poster Presentation Guide for detailed instructions about what should be included in each section of the poster.
