Topics for term paper may include any area and topic in biology. You are strongly advised to, first, select a topic, and then prepare an argument by taking the side that you least agree with. For instance, if you believe evolution should be taught in school, try to prepare a paper supporting the removal of evolution from the science curriculum. Consult the instructor should you have questions.
The instructor will submit all papers to Turnitin.com to check for plagiarism. Any papers showing signs of plagiarism will earn the student an F in this entire course. |
