-You are writing a scientific article for an audience of your peers, say incoming PH575 students.   You and your peers are highly educated, technically savvy people, but you do not know everything about every material that has ever been discovered.  You are educating your peers about a particular material that is of scientific interest or technological importance and you want to convey what is interesting or important about that material from the point of view of a scientist.  You are all capable of reading and understanding articles in any of the journals on solid state physics or materials.+You are writing a scientific article for an audience of your peers, e.g. incoming PH575 students.   You and your peers are highly educated, technically savvy people, but you do not know everything about every material that has ever been discovered.  You are educating your peers about a particular material that is of scientific interest or technological importance and you want to convey what is interesting or important about that material from the point of view of a scientist.  You are all capable of reading and understanding articles in any of the journals on solid state physics or materials.

 === Collaboration or no? === === Collaboration or no? ===
-Teach each other to use the Wien basics.  Share tips on how to use the software, especially on how to get to the DoS and the //E(k)// plots. This just like being in a lab where you show someone how to use a piece of equipment.  This kind of collaboration is healthy, but don't do the work for the other person.  In a lab, you show someone a tool and he or she decides what experiment to do with it.+Teach each other about how use the Wien and Flair basics.  Share tips on how to use the software, especially on how to get to the DoS and the //E(k)// plots.

-Don't work together to construct your posters - the temptation to produce the same format is very strong.  This is your poster.  But critique someone's poster and offer advice if asked. Tell each where to buy poster materials or how to get access to good printing //etc//.    +Don't work together to construct your posters - the temptation to produce the same format is very strong.  This is your poster.  But critique someone's poster and offer advice if asked.

-You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304. But do pay attention to presentation and organization - don't just put up a slew of 8.5” by 11” sheets taped together.+You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. <del>The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304.</del> But do pay attention to presentation and organization - don't just put up a slew of 8.5” by 11” sheets taped together.  With a class the size it is in 2013, the best bet is to use tri-fold poster boards that stand alone - that way we can use the desks and the boards in the room.
