The findings from this study supports the notion that poster do in fact promote student learning and enjoyment when studying the identified research methods undergraduate module. Posters were seen to promote enjoyment when undertaking the summative assessment as well as providing opportunities for promoting deep learning. Further to this posters can have the ability to promote higher order thinking skills as well as facilitating and informing future learning.
