A Poster-Session Review to Reinforce Course Concepts and Improve Scientific Communication Skills

A poster-session review is a novel learning activity designed to help students master material, monitor understanding, and practice communicating scientific information. For this strategy, each student is asked to become an expert on a randomly assigned topic from the semester. They create small pos...
