Biology 30- Current Events Assignment

Biology 30: Current Events Assignment

Throughout the course of the year students are expected to collect and write abstracts on 20 Biology and Biotechnology articles.  The articles must be up to date and current. Students are asked to write on the connections and possible applications these new technologies and information will have on their lives and people in general. Students can be creative in their presentation of their articles and information. Students can make many connections to other material covered in the course and comment on that as well. Students have become somewhat of an expert on the topic they have done a particular article on. During class students will sometimes volunteer and sometimes be asked for their expertise during a class discussion. This often creates some good discussions that hopefully make students think.
