The text of your research paper will be 5-10 pages long. You will use a minimum of three scientific sources. One must be from an internet site and one must come from a hard copy source (needs page numbers). All three sources must be reputable and scientific. (National Geographic is good - National Enquirer isn't!). You will have in-text citations (APA style) of all resources used for your paper, and the paper will be written in your own words. A quality paper will be professional in nature and scientifically objective. If you are critically analyzing a controversial biological topic, all personal opinions must be reserved for the very end of the paper.
Topics:
General Biology: Any biological phenomenon, any disease (human or otherwise), any organism (or group of organisms), or other area of biology is appropriate. You may write a biography of a biologist (famous or otherwise), or critically analyze a controversial topic in biology (be objective!). Any biological phenomenon occurring in the ocean, any oceanographic phenomenon affecting marine organisms, any marine organism (or group of marine organisms), or other area of marine biology is appropriate. You may write a biography of a marine biologist (famous or otherwise), or critically analyze a controversial topic in marine biology (be objective!).
