Homework/Mini-Research Assignment #1

These assignments serve a variety of purposes. The most important purpose is to

introduce major lecture sections and to get you thinking about these important processes (sooner

rather than later). This should stimulate the thought process, and enhance our understanding of

these critical processes and concepts and supplement the lectures. These assignments should be

typed (or word-processed), and double-spaced, with one inch margins. Use a standard font (e.g.

Times New Roman or Courier, 12 cpi) and black ink. Limit your response to at least 2 but no

more then 5 pages (not including illustrations or the list of references cited). You will generally

have one to two weeks to work on these (due dates will be announced in class). Late assignments

will NOT be accepted (accommodations will be made for verifiable and valid reasons only). No

exceptions. You will be evaluated on content and the logical presentation of your ideas. Partial

credit will be given for well supported, but incomplete responses. Be sure to proof-read your

papers to insure your response are complete and accurate, and to also minimize spelling and

grammatical errors (too many errors will result in point reductions). Also, be sure to list all

primary sources of information you used to formulated your responses for full credit. These are

independent exercises, and while it is permissible to collaborate, it is NOT permissible to turn in

group papers (do your own work). Should I observe identical papers, the responsible parties will

not receive credit. This assignment is worth 25 points and is due Wednesday, September

11 . Please turn in the assignment before lecture.
