An effective poster is camera of your work
Posters are an effective method of presenting academic work or research in progress and, because some information is better presented visually, a poster may be more memorable than a verbal presentation. A poster presentation may be a required assessment task for undergraduate or postgraduate students. Posters are often included in the scientific program of a conference, and are usually displayed during a conference with times allocated for presenters to be available to discuss their content with attendees. A poster is an excellent way for beginning presenters to introduce their work to their peers. This also allows for valuable networking opportunities.
Before starting your poster Consider your audience: their interests and/or academic level. Allow enough time to plan and produce it. A good poster takes time. Know the presentation requirements including: poster dimensions; method of display; any mandatory content inclusions or presentation details; or if handouts are required as part of the presentation. Know the evaluation criteria for both the abstract (if required) and the poster. Critically review other posters for design, clarity, layout and overall quality. Consider different methods of production. These can range from cut and paste to a professionally developed and computer-generated poster.

National spanish legal education conference 2013 dual degrees
Nottingham Law School has a dual degree program with Radboud University in Nijmegen that allows students to study for one year at the partner institution and earn an additional degree. This creates an international teaching culture by exchanging staff and students between the schools and encouraging international perspectives. It also fosters international research collaborations through joint funding bids and possible dual LLMs. Challenges include ensuring support for exchange students and overcoming reluctance to change, but the program promotes best practices in legal education on a global level.
L&t presentation 2014
The document discusses the lack of numerical literacy skills among law students and legal professionals. It notes that numerical literacy is an important real-world skill not adequately addressed in legal education. The author proposes developing a 6-week online course (MOOC) to help law students improve their numerical literacy. The MOOC would incorporate math tuition and cognitive behavioral therapy to help overcome math anxiety and avoidance, and would be made freely available as an ongoing online resource for law schools and potentially legal professionals.

Slsa legal education presentation
The document discusses numerical literacy in legal education and practice. It notes a lack of numeracy skills among law students and lawyers due to math anxiety and avoidance. This can negatively impact legal reasoning and practice. The proposed solution is a 6-week online course (MOOC) aimed at law undergraduates. The MOOC would provide math tuition and cognitive behavioral therapy within a virtual legal setting to improve numerical literacy in law and address math anxiety. It would be available openly for other law schools and disciplines.

SLS 2013 - Enhancing mathematical literacy to promote graduate employment
The document discusses enhancing mathematical literacy among law graduates to improve employability. It notes that the challenging legal job market has increased expectations for graduates to have skills like numeracy. However, an analysis found that law school curriculums provide limited opportunities to develop mathematical literacy. To address this, the author proposes a model incorporating a first-year online module, final-year optional credit-bearing module, and employability program focused on numeracy to optimize graduates' mathematical literacy and meet employer demands.
ALT 2013 - Enhancing Numerical Literacy to Promote Graduate Employability
The document discusses enhancing numerical literacy among law graduates to promote employability. It notes that the legal job market has declined, making employers more discerning. Surveys show numeracy is an expected skill. While the law degree includes some numeracy teaching, there is room to do more. Currently, only one of the degree's modules focuses on numeracy. The document proposes a model with a mandatory online module in year one, an optional credit-bearing module, and a summer numeracy school, to optimize graduates' numerical literacy. This could be implemented with minimal disruption and would better prepare students for challenges in employment.
Durham university 2013 - Using VPS to inject restorative principles into crim...
The document discusses victim personal statements (VPS), which allow victims in England and Wales to outline the impact of a crime for consideration in sentencing. It explores how VPS could incorporate restorative justice principles by communicating victim harm to offenders. However, low victim participation and undue influence on sentencing are potential pitfalls. While restorative justice need not replace criminal justice, the restorative potential of VPS warrants further guidance for practitioners.
Using victim personal statements to inject restorative principles into crimin...
The document discusses using victim impact statements in criminal sentencing to incorporate restorative justice principles. Victim impact statements were introduced in 2001 to give victims a voice in the legal process. The EU Victims' Directive of 2012 also supports victim participation. While victim impact statements can help communicate victim harm and potentially encourage offender accountability and apology, there are concerns about unduly influencing sentences and raising unrealistic victim expectations. The document argues restorative practices can be integrated into the existing criminal system and more guidance is needed for practitioners on the restorative potential of victim impact statements.

NLS staff development 2013 - Creating academic posters for teaching and research
- 1. Creating academic posters for teaching and research. Louise Taylor 19th Sept 2013
- 2. What is an academic poster? • A visual means of presenting research and promoting discussion. • More traditionally used in the science disciplines but increasingly being used in Law. • For some examples (good and bad) click here. • What its not – a journal article printed on A1 paper and stuck on a wall!
- 3. Benefits for teaching and research Teaching: • Visual means of explaining research simply. • Opens up discussion around a research area. • Can be used as formative or summative assessment. • Helps bridge the teaching / research nexus. Research: • Visual means of explaining research simply. • Opens up discussion around a research area. • Can evidence research activity at an intermediary stage. • Allows for conference attendance without pressure of presenting.
- 4. What are the basics? • Usually A1 size (portrait or landscape) printed and laminated. • Includes: – Introduction – Methodology – Findings / Results - Conclusions - References - Acknowledgements • Ideally includes less than 500 words and incorporates images / graphs.
- 5. How to create a poster • Get the content right – research your subject area. • Think less is more where word count is concerned. • Be consistent in your use of type size / font / colour for headings and text boxes. • Spend time designing your layout on paper before working on PC.
- 6. Useful tools in PowerPoint. • Grids and guides – On the ‘view’ tab go to ‘gridlines and guides’ and click on the small arrow in the bottom right hand side of the box. Make sure the following are checked: – ‘snap objects to grid’ – ‘display grid on screen’ – ‘display drawing guides on screen’
- 7. Useful tools in PowerPoint. • Ordering of images/text – Right click on the textbox/image and choose ‘send to back’ or ‘bring to front’ in order to layer items. • Resizing images – Be caution when doing this or you may distort your image. Click on your image and in the ‘format’ tab go to ‘size’ and click on small arrow in right hand bottom corner. Make sure ‘lock aspect ratio’ and ‘relative to original picture size’ boxes are checked.
- 8. Useful tools in PowerPoint. • Background images and watermarks – select an image, place in your slide and resize as desired. – To have the image as a background re-order image as per previous slide. – To have the image as a watermark click on image and go to ‘format picture’ then ‘colour’. This provides a range of effects.
- 9. Other advice • Save file as a pdf and ‘embed fonts’ in order that your fonts and colours are not corrupted when you send your poster to print. • Print out poster in colour in A3 size (colour printer in Psychology dept) before having it professionally printed in order to check for mistakes. • Speak to Printshop about timings – at quiet times your poster can usually be printed while you wait (£10 for A1 colour poster + additional time and cost for lamination).
- 10. Some useful websites: • www.colinpurrington.com/tips/academicposterde sign – Blog with a useful section on academic posters and some templates. • www.connect.le.ac.uk/posters – Really good online tutorial from the University of Leicester on things to think about when creating posters. • www.flickr.com – Online photo sharing website where you can find useful images.
