Question description
Biology 110 Term Paper
Topics: The paper should be on a topic in biology that has been in the news. I don’t want something broad like genetics or the environment; choose something specific like stem cells, genetically engineered crops, illegal drugs, or drug testing. If you are having trouble choosing a topic, see me. Topics should be related to what we cover in class. The purpose of this project is for the explore the difference, if any, of how scientists view a topic and how that topic is disseminated to the general public and to think about how scientists can better connect to the general population.

Grading: I am looking for an understanding of the science and the ability to explain it. You will also be graded on your writing (grammar, spelling, the ability to express your thoughts). For the 3rd section, I am looking for your thoughts and opinions and the ability to defend them. Put forth a cognizant argument; don’t say we shouldn’t do something because I don’t like it, give a scientifically or ethically sound reason. I will not grade you on your opinions but your ability to explain them and defend them.

As an example, if you are having trouble understanding an article, I’m willing to go over it with you. I will also give pointers if you are having trouble with writing. I suggest you also work together to edit each other’s papers.
