Course Information
Description
This class synthesizes the techniques learned in EM Image Processing 1 and 2 by incorporating the scientific image into industry-standard presentation formats such as PowerPoint and InDesign. Students will learn design attributes, speech writing skills in order to produce and present scientific slide presentations and scientific posters. This class will also coordinate the learning of these skills with the production of assignments as required by concurrent classes within the program. Students will also begin production of their own image portfolio book. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in 10-636-123 or consent of instructor.
