Monday--mock poster session!

Because of the Patriots' Day holiday, this Monday, 4/14, is our last class before the conference!  Hard to believe, right?

Both because of that, and because of the upcoming poster session on Tuesday 4/15 at 1 in D-lounge, we are planning to devote Monday's class to a mock poster session.  Please come prepared to speak about your poster just as you would do on Tuesday, 4/15 at 1 on campus and on Friday, 4/25 at the conference.  Bring handouts, iPads loaded with media, or any other props you might need.  Be prepared--you'll get the most out of this if you treat it exactly like the real thing!  (With one exception: You don't need to dress up for class Monday night--please dress well and professionally for the poster session in D-lounge and also for the conference, but feel free to dress casually for class on Monday night as usual.)  Our current plan is that for half the class period, half of you will be presenters and the other will be audience members making the rounds of the poster session, and then we'll switch for the other half of the class period. 

For those of you who are doing oral presentations at the conference: please contact Prof. Poole to schedule a oral presentation rehearsal.  We'll try to coordinate schedules so that you all rehearse your oral presentations together so that you have the experience of speaking before an audience.
