Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conventions nowadays include poster session presentations in their programmes. It is true that poster sessions have been very common in the sciences for some time, but they have recently become more prevalent for presenting research in other fields like the social sciences, the humanities, and the Arts. Poster research summarizes a study briefly and attractively to help advertise it and generate discussion. The poster is usually a mixture of text and tables, diagrams, or pictures.
This current paper involves a hermeneutical method of research, i.e., it does not search for the eventual correct answer to a question, but instead, it explores the issue and details that surround it. The ultimate aim is to enhance the application of poster research by instructors and undergraduate students, and to offer a different medium from the traditional research papers.
