Assignment 1: Biology Article
Due Week 5 and worth 120 points
Use the Internet and / or the Strayer Learning Resource Center
to research aspects of biology.
Select an article from a magazine or newspaper that has
something in it that pertains to biology. This will serve as the
“target article” for this assignment. For instance, you can select
an article about medicine, invasive species, nature,
conservation, genetic technology, ecology, or any other topic
that is related to biology. One purpose of this assignment is to
help you become aware of how biology is related to your
everyday life.
Write a one to three (1-3) page paper in which you:
Summarize the article in one (1) or more paragraphs, using your
own words.
Be sure to identify the article using an in-text citation in the
body of the paper, as well as a reference in the reference
section.
Explain how the article relates to this course. Identify which
biological concepts from the course and / or text are relevant to
the topic covered in the article. Citing the course text, discuss
the ways in which this course does (or doesn’t) provide
background information to help you understand the article and
the larger issues surrounding it.
Explain why the article caught your attention. Relate the article
to your life and to issues that are important to you. Discuss how
or if the scientific knowledge about the topic covered in the
article affects you directly or indirectly.
Discuss your opinion on how research on this topic should be
funded. State whether you think taxpayer monies should support
research on this topic or whether such research in this area
should be funded by the private sector. Rate the importance of
research on this topic, relative to other areas of research.
In addition to the target article, you should use at least one
additional resource, such as your textbook or another article.
You must have a reference section which contains an APA
reference to your chosen article and all other sources.
Additionally, you must provide in-text citations (in APA
format) to your references in the body of the text. Integrate all
sources into your paper using proper techniques of quoting,
paraphrasing and summarizing, along with your in-text
citations.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
Use technology and information resources to research issues in
biology.
Write clearly and concisely about biology using proper writing
mechanics.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality,
logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing
skills.
