The format of the Virtual Poster Session will approximately be as follows.

Phase 1

  •  Will have a separate zoom meeting for ∼5-8 projects.
  •  Each project has ∼7-8 minutes to devoted to it with the following activities:
    •  Everyone in the zoom meeting watches the video presentation for the group
    • The project under review must answer questions from the group assigned to peer review their project.
    • Time permitting the other students in the zoom meeting can ask questions.
  •  When all projects have been viewed and discussed, the meeting can vote for the best project presentation. This project will move forward to phase 2.

Phase 2

In the next phase everybody gets to see the “best” video from each subset of projects.

  • Everybody watches the videos of the winning projects from phase 1.
  • The audience gets to ask questions.
  • All students get to vote for the project that should win the audience’s best project award

 

 

What do I do if my group misses the project report deadline or I do not fulfill the assignment eligibility criterion?

  1. Our group just missed the report deadline, but my report will be ready before the poster session. You must sort out with another late group if they are willing to peer review your report and vice-versa. If you manage to do this then inform me of the groups involved and I will let you join the poster session.
  2. There is zero chance our group will make this deadline. I will have another virtual poster session in September.  Mail me after May 27th if you want to take part in the "Poster Re-Exam" and I will poll the groups involved to find a suitable date. Note myself and the TAs will not be able to give you help with your projects after the course ends. (end of May)
  3. Some members of our group have completed >= 3 assignments before the eligibility deadline and others have not. What happens now? The members of the group that are eligible to participate in the Virtual Poster Session should take part. Those who are not should wait until the re-exam Poster Session. Those taking part in the re-exam poster session can use the same video, report and self-assessment report as used in the original poster session (as I assume everybody in the group contributed to the group project) but they will have to write a peer-review and self-assessment of their learning outcomes for the re-exam. Also to take part in the re-exam you should have completed >= 3 of the assignments.
