Description
Poster presentations are usually the first steps in a budding academic and research career. Many potential presenters, however, feel lost in this process, as there are few courses that teach you how to proceed. The Little Guide to Giving a Poster Presentation: Simple Steps to Success shows the reader how to take their ideas or work and present it to their peers and community in poster format. The Little Guide answers all the beginner's questions in a direct and useful fashion.
Reviews / Votes
This is a great resource for the uninitiated and a good guide even for the veteran presenter. -- David Klassen, PhD, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rowan University I recommend this helpful guide for novice or experienced poster presenters looking for ways to share eloquent, compelling, and memorable ideas to promote the knowledge base and other professional expertise and reputation. -- Liat Gafni Lachter, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, Lecturer Online Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, Boston University An excellent, easy to read, comprehensive book, full of helpful resources and practical suggestions, that guides the reader step by step through the process of developing an idea for a poster session to a successful poster presentation and beyond to future opportunities. -- Lori T. Andersen, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA, Retired - Associate Professor, Department of Occupational Therapy and Community Health, Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers, Florida The Little Guide to Giving a Poster Presentation is a very helpful and thorough guide for those unfamiliar with the process. I particularly liked the section on physically presenting the poster at the conference and all the tips for dealing interacting with attendees. -- Ben Finio, PhD, Lecturer, Cornell University John Bond not only captured all the components of creating the content and physical poster itself, but also the nuanced aspects of poster presentation such as defining a target audience, networking, and funding. -- Emily Compagnoni, RN, BSN, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia The Little Guide resonates with my poster presentation experiences. It is an excellent guide. -- Nancy Doyle, OTD, OTR/L, Lecturer, Department of Occupational Therapy, Boston UniversityMore details
