Question: Identify the standard sections that are typically included in a research poster presentation. In your response, explicitly state which common section of an APA-style manuscript is often considered unnecessary for a poster and explain the rationale for its omission.
Sample answer: A standard research poster includes a title, author names and affiliations, an introduction, a method section, a results section, a discussion or conclusions section, references, and acknowledgments. An abstract is usually unnecessary because the entire poster serves as a brief summary of the research.
Key points:
- Lists standard sections: title, author names/affiliations, introduction, method, results, discussion/conclusions, references, and acknowledgments.
- Identifies the abstract as the commonly omitted section.
- Explains that the poster as a whole acts as a brief summary of the research.
Rubric: Full points are awarded if the student lists the correct standard poster sections and identifies the abstract as the unnecessary section, explaining that the poster itself functions as a summary.
