HANDING IN THE ELECTRONIC POSTER – GUIDELINES:
- Make sure your name is on the powerpoint (bottom right side).
- Double check that you have the correct dimensions: WIDTH = 60.96 cm, HEIGHT = 91.44 cm. Adjust if necessary. Other dimensions may not print.
- Save the powerpoint slide as a PDF.
- Bring your electronic poster to class on your flash drive by Tuesday January 5. DO NOT EMAIL. Email does not always work and it will overwhelm and fill up my account. Then NO ONE will be able to hand in. We have a firm deadline and need to work together to get the posters completed on time.
- Hand in your blue sheet that includes the rubric for marking.
