Project Poster Instructions

Overview

This poster is the final summary of your project. It should include all relevant information to understand your modeled system, the question of interest, your methods, and results in a largely visual presentation. Too much text will be difficult to interpret and may be judged in rubric terms as unclear.

Template

A Google Drive folder with example poster templates will be shared on Ed Discussion. These templates may vary in dimension; any similar dimension is fine. You do not need to restrict yourself to the layout in the templates so long as the necessary information is included.

Instructions

You should include the following information in your poster:

• An overview of your system, including (and emphasizing) a diagram of the modeled components and a description of relevant dynamics;
• A statement of the key question, in a way which connects to the system overview and background;
• A description of the methods used in your project, including your adopted approach, key equations or methods, and critical assumptions.
• Description (emphasizing visualizations) of the results;
• Conclusions synthesizing the results and interpreting them in light of the system, key question, and assumptions;
• Discussion of what you learned and did, with particular emphasis on how it connects to the class material;
• References for key sources; this does not need to be comprehensive given space constraints, but cite any source that is directly referenced in the text;
• Include a title and name(s) of the project group at the top of the poster;
• The poster should not be too crowded (feel free to ask if unsure what this means, but use the templates as a guide) and should have a font size large enough to read from a distance given the poster size (this is not specified as different fonts may be used);
• Submit a PDF of the update to Gradescope by 9:00 PM on the due date.
