Homework
Identify a topic you are interested in learning more about that is related to BIOL 241, then find a scientific or medical research resource that provides information on that topic bone structure and development?
While you can use sources like news articles or Wikipedia as background, your extra credit must describe a cientific/medical research article or review. However you don't necessarily need to read the original research paper itself: if you can find a suitable description of the research in a scientific or medical source that's OK, but NOT A NEWSPAPER or other popular press account. These often oversimplify the research and make grandiose conclusions to earn clicks/readers. NOTE: If you are unsure if a source is usable, get my approval of your first before you start working on it.
Your homework is to write a response to the research that you read.
Your response must include the following:
A. What does the research that is being presented show ("prove")? Summarize it.
B. Why is the research important?
C. What are the health implications? How might it affect your career as a health professional?
D. Give your personal interpretation about the research findings. Are you convinced by what they tell you? Or do you have another idea? Remember, scientists and doctors are people too and they have agendas. One of the main things they tend to do is overstate the importance of their research, e.g. suggesting that the particular cell or molecule they study is responsible for causing all kinds of disease or that it could be a panacea. Can you identify any of this in the article you read?
The more you put into it, the more points you will get. For example, more points will be given for relating personal experiences, bringing in other knowledge you have or other research you do on the topic, or adding in-depth analysis about why you do or do not agree with the main points of the article.
