Demonstrate sensitivity to diversity a. Experience the creative products of humanity. b. Describe alternate historical, cultural, global perspectives. a. This course emphasizes and supports writing across the curriculum. To this end, and to encourage students to integrate the concepts they learn in class with their practical applications, they are required to submit ten (10) critical analyses of articles from current scientific periodicals, or articles from the popular press, dealing with relevant scientific subjects. The following guidelines should help students in the preparation of their critiques. 1. Begin with a complete bibliographic citation of your article. 2. Summarize the major ideas presented in the article. Ask yourself (and answer in your summary) questions like: a. What is the hypothesis? b. How is the hypothesis tested? c. What evidence is presented to support or refute the hypothesis? d. What conclusion did the author reach? 3. Critically analyze the article. Ask (and answer) questions like these: a. Were the experimental procedures adequate? b. Do you agree with the conclusions reached? c. Was the article written well? d. Do you think the topic is important? Why or why not? e. Did this article raise any new questions in your mind? b. Describe the general steps in the scientific method. Analyze scientific articles to determine how the scientific method was employed by the researchers. Quizzes and Tests Papers and Projects Group or Individual
