Opinion Paper:
Hopefully by now you are beginning to see that there are many sides to this issue that once seemed so simple. Based on what you read in the literature, hear in class, and learn from theother groups’ outlines, you are to write a 1 to 2 page opinion paper to be submitted through Canvas the week after your presentation (April 23). Your opinion paper cannot be written on your topic—you must write an opinion paper based upon the presentations that you observe from your classmates. Your opinion must be well developed and supported by solid scientific facts that you have identified from scientific sources. See end of document for hints and grading guidelines. Opinion papers are to be done individually.
