If you are under age 18 or you do not wish to participate in experiments, you may receive extra credit by completing up to 3 research papers (each worth 1 experimental hours). These should be 300 - 500 word summaries of any article included in the list on this webpage. You can click here and download a PDF copy of any of the available articles.
Each paper should include the following sections:
Introduction: (One paragraph) What is the basic theoretical question or concern of the research? This should include a summary of main research topic being examined, as well as expected results.
Method: (One to three paragraphs) What subjects or organisms are being tested? What is the basic form of experimental test being used?
Results and Conclusions: (Summarize briefly) What were the basic findings of the experiment and how do they relate to the theoretical concerns and hypotheses in the introduction?
Your Reactions: (Two to three paragraphs) What is your reaction to what you read? Did you find it interesting? Why or why not? Do you see how it relates to what you have studied in class? Can you think of some way to apply these findings in the real world?
Each paper must be complete, clear, and well-written to receive extra credit. If a paper does not meet these standards, it will be handed back for revision. If a paper does not meet these standards by the second review, it will not be counted toward extra credit. All papers must be e-mailed to the professor by the final day of regular classes (i.e., before Final's week).
