Semester Writing Assignments
This semester, you will have several writing assignments, the first of which you’ve already completed! For each of these assignments, you are expected to put forth both thought and effort. Most importantly, remember that these papers are assigned to you, so they should be in your own words.
1) Two of the assignments due in this course are directly related to one another: Part 1. Write a brief essay that addresses these questions: What does biology mean to you? Does biology influence you? How so? Or why not? How will learning about biology influence your future? (10 points) DUE TODAY in class - HARDCOPY
Part 2. Write a brief essay (2 pages typed MAX) that addresses these questions: How has your view of biology changed (address those things you discussed in part 1 of this assignment)? How do you think biology will influence you in your future? What do you see as your role in biology? (20 points) DUE FRIDAY, December 13 (midnight) - DROPBOX
2) EurekAlert Assignment- EurekAlert (http://www.eurekalert.org/) is a web page operated by the American Academy for the Advancement of Science. The most recent advances in all areas of science are posted here for the public to learn about. During this semester, you will be required to submit to me a total of 3 brief (~250 words) reports on 3 different articles that interest you on EurekAlert (these can be from ANY subject – you are not restricted to biology). Your report should briefly summarize the article, discuss any connections that the information may have to what we have been discussing in class (if there are any), and discuss why you found the article interesting. On the report you should also include the name of the article, author (if available), and date released. These reports will be “due” to the dropbox on the following Fridays: 9/6, 11/8, 12/6. I do, however, encourage you to submit these reports at your leisure throughout the semester, rather
