This course is part of the university's Liberal Studies program and therefore, as mandated by the program, requires that you have a supplemental reading assignment beyond the textbook. The required supplemental reading for this semester is the book Your Inner Fish 2009 by Neil Shubin (ISBN: 0307277453). This assignment is worth 25 lab points and is due during your last lab period. Follow the instructions below EXACTLY. Because of the subjectivity of the assignment, this assignment will be graded primarily on how closely you follow the instructions. Also see the required Turnitin.com procedures. The assignment consists of both a written and oral component as follows:
I. Written Assignment.
Referring to THREE different specific quotes, events, or episodes from different places in the book, give your personal reaction to each quote, event, or episode, and tell me why you think the way you do in some depth. (Also include the short quote or a very brief summary of the chosen event or episode plus the page numbers in the book.) Perhaps you find that some of the author's attitude about different issues, as reflected not only by his explicit statements but also by his choice of words, is something you wish to make a comment about. Tell me what you think. One purpose of this assignment is to stimulate some independent thought. Note that just a summary, description, or evaluation of the book's contents is NOT what I am asking for. To fulfill this assignment you must give your personal reaction to specific parts of the book, perhaps based on your own previous experiences and current perspectives. Your reaction is the most important part of this assignment and should make up most of the paper. In addition to your comments about three quotes, events, or episodes from the book, tell me your reaction to the book as a whole - and tell me why. Furthermore, clearly organize and explicitly label the different sections of your paper in the following way:
I. First Reaction.
A) Brief Summary and Page numbers
B) Reaction
II. Second Reaction.
A) Brief Summary and Page numbers
B) Reaction
III. Third Reaction.
A) Brief Summary and Page numbers
B) Reaction
IV. Overall Reaction to the book
II. Oral Presentation.
