Instructions for Poster: Content and Citations
(4/10/07)

The link below is to a sample poster, which deals with a totally unrelated topic, however, it will give you an idea how the citations should appear and how you could structure the required analytical component. http://www.nursing.upenn.edu/centers/hcgne/PDF/Monturo_Food_poster.pdf

Just as Cheryl Monturo structured her poster around the argument she was making about the meaning of food for older people with cancer, you too are required to make an argument that depicts your findings and your conclusion.  Whether you use the format of the flower or whether you use another layout is up to you. However, there needs to be a fit between the qualifications for your chosen career and the parts about you, such as your interests, values, skills and personality (MBTI). 

You don't get graded on the decisions you make but you will be evaluated on how well you understand the relationship between the personal decisions you make and the public issues that influence the field you are interested in, as well as what you know about larger societal trends (from the book, articles and websites you read and the films we watched together and discussed. In other words, your poster's argument should demonstrate how well your career decision-making process is informed by sociological knowledge. You need to cite all the sources that you used in your research: both what informed your occupational choices and what you learned about the sociology of work.

Don't forget to go back to the course website and look at the course requirements:
