Question: Based on the accepted practices for poster sessions, describe the specific expectations for how a presenter should physically behave and interact with visitors while at their poster, and identify what materials or information they should have on hand to maximize the impact of the interaction.

Sample answer: A presenter should remain by their poster to greet visitors and offer to explain their research, using the poster as a visual aid. They must be prepared to answer questions and respond to critical feedback. Additionally, they should have detailed write-ups of their study available to hand out, or they should provide contact information so attendees can request more information later.

  • Remain by the poster to greet visitors.
  • Offer to explain the research using the poster as a visual aid.
  • Answer questions and respond to critical feedback.
  • Have detailed write-ups available to hand out.
  • Provide contact information for later requests.

Rubric: The answer must explicitly list the behavioral expectations (staying by the poster, greeting, explaining using the poster as an aid, answering questions/feedback) and the supplementary materials expected (detailed write-up or contact info).
