ASSIGMENT DISCUSSION

2 Biology Discussion

The purpose of this Biology Discussion is to help each other understand the main concepts presented in the chapters covered this week. General Biology, the required readings are Chapters 4 -7.  

Each student must make at least three (3) entries during the week. *One of the entries MUST ask a question about a concept/idea presented in the required readings in the textbook from the chapters covered this week . This should be a question pertaining to material that you personally do not understand or need clarification on and should be at least 40-50 words in length. Question topics cannot be claimed, and it is one question topic per student.  This will aid in diversifying the discussion.  Broad categories are posted already in the discussion board. Post your question under the category to which it best applies. State your question in the subject line of the post. This will create a list of questions and that everyone will be able to see.  *The two remaining entries must offer an explanation in answer to a classmate's question. Your responses must be researched, and the content of your response must be supported by reliable and credible resources.  These  two response posts must be a minimum of 200 words each. *Ground rules for the Biology Discussion: Each post must be in your own words. Do NOT copy and paste from the Internet. [Review the Plagiarism presentation in the Student Resource Center.]  It is better to paraphrase content/information (putting the content/information in your own words) from a resource.  Paraphrased information from resource is required to be properly cited per APA requirements*, with it-text citations immediately following the information and a full reference citation at the end of the discussion board posting. [*Refer to the Getting Started area of the class for ‘Helpful Resources & Websites on Referencing Sources per APA’ and to the Student Resources tab on the left-hand side of the classroom.]
