Assignment - Darwin Week!


Darwin Week is February 11 - 14 at The College, with events scheduled in the Physicians Auditorium, Science Center 123, and several other venues around Charleston.  See the web site for scheduling details.  These events will probably be very popular - arrive early to get a good seat!

Your assignment is to attend one of these events and write a brief report, outlining the theme or subject of the event and its impact on your understanding of evolutionary science and/or related social issues.

Your report need be no more than a single paragraph, but it might stretch to a couple pages.  It should summarize the entire presentation in just a couple sentences of introduction or background and a couple sentences reviewing the points being made by the presenter.  You may feel free to use the brief descriptive blurbs on the web site as a starting place, but you’ll need to provide answers, bottom lines, and conclusions.  You should also add at least a sentence or two evaluating the presentation from your own standpoint.  What did you personally learn?

Your report is due Monday, February 18.  It will be worth 50 points on your final grade.  Please work independently - do not collaborate with your classmates or other students.
