Prokaryote - Protist - Fungi Poster Project

Each of you will be assigned* a phylum, class or some other thing about Prokaryotes, Protists or Fungi. You will prepare a poster about that group, including illustrations, definitive features, environmental role, human interest, human impact, etc. You should use internet resources in addition to text material to complete this project. The posters need not be large (no trifolds required) but must be valuable resource material for other students. In addition, you will submit to the instructor a brief summary of the significance of this group. References must be included.

Your poster project due date, review times for poster evaluations and the poster evaluations due dates are listed on the class syllabus/calendar.

Each student will examine all posters, and write down on the worksheet provided for each poster a significant feature learned about the group represented for each poster, 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 group being presented). Posters should be taken down no later than 5:00 pm PDT on the final evaluation date. Points will be deducted from your grade for posters not removed by that time.

* An assignment sign-up sheet (posted at S-340I) for the poster topics will be available at an appropriate time. You can trade assignments if mutually acceptable, or, if two or three want to work collaboratively, you can do so, but individual posters must be done. That is, three of you could work together on three posters. You will all earn the same grade based on the collective three posters.

Text references for the poster projects include chapters 13, 14 and 15 in Biology of Plants, 7th edition, and chapters 26, 27 and 30 of Life, 9thEdtion. Students should seek additional references for their work.
