Unless you're specifically majoring in graphic design, you're probably never going to have a course anywhere that specifically teaches you how to organize a presentation board.  This is something that's nearly entirely self-taught for most architecture students.  The best thing to do is pay attention to others' work (other students, architects, advertisers...)  And yes, of course you're supposed to ask your tutors - but it's likely you'll get as many opinions as there are tutors. 

You're in school to learn... and more importantly, you're in a design school to learn about design.  Don't expect to just be told how to do things step by step... it's up to you to make the effort produce well-thought out work.  If yours falls short of your colleagues, well, that's life and you just need to put in a more concentrated effort.  Spending some time researching examples on your own time is part of the learning process.

Yes, it sounds stupid because it is a stupid question. But there is nothing wrong with stupid questions since... well, how would you know it's stupid without asking it.  8-)
