AssignmentsResponse to a QuestionOn Friday of each week, the lecturer for that week will hand out a question relating to the material in his/her lectures for that week. You are asked to turn in a response to that question, no more than one page in length (double-spaced typing) (it can be shorter), at the beginning of class on the following Wednesday (no late exceptions). This response will be worth a maximum of 2 points.
Evolutionary NarrativeOn the Friday (no late exceptions) following a set of lectures, you are asked to turn in a work of no more than one page in which you present the scientific material of the previous week as a narrative. This can take many forms. For example, you might write a story as you would tell it to your mother or a younger sibling. You might choose to include your own feelings about the material from e.g. a philosophical or religious perspective. You might write it in prose or poetry, or include some fantasy or art (simple drawings fine!). The point is to give you the opportunity to take what you have heard the previous week and work with it. The 12 narratives will NOT be graded in detail: you will receive 2 points for each acceptable submission. home | response to a question | evolutionary narrative updated 4/27/01 |
