Poster Assessment 2

Submitted by nalexandroum on Thu, 04/18/2019 - 14:52

The poster is organized into roughly five section: Introduction, Results, Conclusion, References, and Acknowledgements. There is no Abstract or a defined Methods section, part of which seems to have been added to the end of the Introduction. The poster is fairly easy to follow, as all the text is congregated on the left side of the poster and the Figures referenced are either on the right side of the poster in line with the text that mentions them, or are integrated in the text where relevant. However the fact that all the brightly colored figures are separated from, and are yet in line with, the text makes the poster legible. For the most part the information is easy to find, however the section headings are vertically along the edge of the poster which makes figuring out where one section ends and another begins mildly challenging despite the bolded subheadings which attempt to differentiate between sections. Beyond the bolded subheadings there is no real emphasis on any other text. Each section is focused enough to give enough information about the topic, however there is some overlap in the sections, such as where there are some methods mentioned in the introduction. The writing is focused in short sections, none longer than a paragraph. Although the overall tone and style of language is appropriate for scientific writing, there are some grammatical and structural errors in the text, mostly noticeable in the way sentences are put together—the phrasing is often rather clunky in a hard-to-understand kind of way. The amount of text however is suitable for a poster, and it is not overly text-heavy.
