A 10 page (not counting references) fully referenced report is required from each student in the course. The textual format is open, although references should be included in one of the formats commonly utilized in scientific writing. You can use the assigned literature correlation papers as appropriate examples of reference formatting. The report should evaluate, compare/contrast, and/or analyze some aspect of the recent literature on a specific or general cellular topic related to the discussions in this course. The report may review, analyze and evaluate the recent work in a field related to a topic, or could involve a comparison/contrast discussion of papers in an area of controversy. Appropriate and necessary figures, graphs or diagrams may be included in the report. However, if they are not original, you must provide a reference to their source. These non-textual components of the report must account for less than 20% of the report. Strive to keep to a minimum (or eliminate) the use of web sites as references.
