Here’s what I want you to do:
Write a draft of a results narrative summarizing the fish egg analysis conducted in lab last week.
Here’s why I want you to do it:
It is difficult to gain full understanding of a topic just by listening to someone talk to you through a video – you have to practice applying that information in new situations to really move that new knowledge from your short to long term memory! This assignment will give us practice writing about the results of a statistical analysis we have conducted. Furthermore, this assignment provides a chance to give each other feedback on drafts before turning in a final version.
Here’s how to do it:
- Download the instructions here: BIO100 Week 7 Writing About Scientific Results Drafts Instructions_9.30.20.docx” href=”https://csus.instructure.com/courses/75822/files/9567043/download?wrap=1″ data-api-endpoint=”https://csus.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/75822/files/9567043″ data-api-returntype=”File” data-id=”9567043″>BIO100 Week 7 Writing About Scientific Results Drafts Instructions_9.30.20.docxActions
- Follow the instructions and write a full draft of your fish egg results narrative.
- Upload your results narrative draft to this assignment. (A word doc or pdf is preferable – make sure you are submitting a file type that is readable by everyone, regardless of Mac or Windows operating systems.)
- Once you have turned in your assignment, you will be assigned as a reviewer for one of your peers.
- To complete this review, read your peer’s results narrative draft and fill out and provide comments on the associated assignment grading rubric. This grading rubric provides information regarding how the final results narrative assignments will be graded. In particular, note any criteria listed in the instructions that aren’t included in the draft.
- Lastly, to finalize your peer review, leave an Assignment Comment on the assignment of your assigned peer that addresses 1) a strength or their draft, and 2) a point that could be improved.
