Poster Presentations
In recent years, presentation of posters has become a regular feature of conferences in most areas of science and technology. These can be used for assessment of parts of students' laboratory work and, at the same time, introduce the idea of conference posters.
Design of experimental investigations is one of the most important parts of laboratory work. Posters would be a good way for individual students or groups to display their designs. Posters could also be useful for displaying the results of an investigative project.
