Biology 130
Poster Project

Each of you will be assigned* a section of the material on vitamins, minerals and supplements. You will prepare a poster about your assigned subject, including functions, food sources, health issues, and with supplements, advertising claims and efficacy. You should search additional resources beyond your text for your project. The posters need not be large but must provide valuable resource material for other students. References are to be included.

On the due dates, we will do one of the following (to be determined prior to the due date):

  1. Each student will be given a worksheet, will examine all posters, and will write down for each poster a significant feature learned, and the grade you would assign the poster based on the teaching effectiveness of the poster (that is - how much could you learn from that poster about the substance(s) being presented).
  2. Alternatively, each student will give a 1 -2 minute explanation of his/her poster, and each of the students will write down for each poster a significant feature learned, and the grade you would assign.

*You can trade assignments if mutually acceptable.
