Insect Biology Undergraduate Capstone Forum

Fall 2024

Students will be required to report their capstone research results using a scientific poster format. Posters must be uploaded to Brightspace, as well as printed and displayed during the Fall Semester 2024 Undergraduate Capstone Forum at 3:45 pm on Thursday, December 5. 

 

Successful completion of the capstone experience (ENTM 49310 and ENTM 49320), including a scientific poster presentation summarizing the capstone project, is a departmental requirement for graduation. The quality and organization of the poster, and the student’s ability to answer questions and engage the audience will be evaluated using the UCC Written and Oral Communication rubrics, respectively. Please see the ENTM 49390 syllabus for further information.

  • All students planning to participate in the Fall Semester Capstone Forum should be enrolled in ENTM 49390 during Fall Semester 2024.

  • After the capstone poster has been reviewed and approved by the capstone mentor, it must be uploaded to the ENTM 49390 capstone summary website no later than Friday, December 13.

  • If you have difficulties uploading your poster, please email it to Amanda Wilson.
