Week 11 (11/8/05 - 11/15/05)

Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. -- Thomas Huxley

• Research -  Everyone needs to show weekly progress in their research project: ResearchProgress.htm
  • Abstracts should expand and gain detail over time. 
  • Some students still need general information -- try using the Merck Home Manual or searching CDC website or contacting Harry  
  • If you make progress over the next 5 to 6 weeks, you will have a fine little research project.   
  • Are you familiar with proof-reader's marks?
• APA referencing 
  • Use your printed copy of the OWL guide. No guessing or faking citation and reference style. We need to make progress. Let's discuss. 
  • Internet sources -- see OWL guide p. 7 (more or less); discuss. 
  • If no date is available, list date as (n.d.) for no date. 
  • If the author is unknown, list no author and cite title. 
  • Q & A
• Student research updates
• HW
  • Next research update due Tu 11/15 -- use similar format but you only need to show new material. Goal is to show progress. Same grading criteria.
