BIO 475-01 Class Proceedings for Friday August 29, 2003 Dr. Lin wants the class to know that the point of the message board is to show your work to each other. With that said everyone is encouraged to read each others postings, and make comments and suggest various corrections that could be made. Eventually the class should start an open discussion. The only rule for the open discussion is for everyone’s postings to be academic and professional. Remember that any and all writings assignments done for this course should be “Long enough to cover everything, and short enough to make it interesting”. –The class previous enrichment assignments were VERY interesting— Everyone needs to maintain a scholarly fashion and cite references. Go back and refine your definitions. What you have is good, but now you have to go further. Do research get the definition and quote where you get it from. SUCCESS FOR THIS CLASS: is to do revisions, make your work less INTERESTING, and use a scholarly manner. **KEEP ORIGINALS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE YOUR PROGRESS!!** **REFERENCES ARE VERY IMPORTANT!!** For reading assignment go to Seminar Page; then go to [Link N’ Assignments]. The reading assignment for the week of Sept 1, 2003 is Review Article: How Does HIV cause AIDS? Save the article in html format (it saves you a lot of hard work because it has the hyperlinks) and save it in pdf format (its in the same format as the journal article). Quote from Chinese Fortune Cookie: “When you hear you forget, when you see you remember, when you do you understand”. Get into the habit of checking announcements; because you never know when there is going to be something new posted. Remember that you can’t jump into a primary source you have to start out with secondary sources to get your feet wet. On our Seminar Webpage there is a customary desktop. It has everything that you need for the Seminar course. However, if you have any suggestion on links that you would like to see on the site feel free to let Dr. Lin know about them. Go to http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/cogsys/bloom.html If you want to find out more on Anticipatory Set and Cognitive Domain FIRST SEMINAR REPORT IS DUE SEPTEMBER 8. So over the break read through the Review Article and if there is something that you don’t understand research it. If you plagiarize you will be given a zero! It’s easy to plagiarize, but it’s also easy to get caught. TERM PAPER: The term paper is worth 300 points. For your term paper make sure that it is on the biomedical aspect of your topic and not ethics. REMEMBER THAT: “A CELL IN A STEADY STATE IS A DEAD CELL.” “When you ask Dr. Lin for a piece of bread, he will give it to you but it will end up in the sewer. But if he shows you how to sow your seed then your supply of bread will never end.” In the same manner “Ask him for fish and he will show you how to make a net so that you can fish for yourself and your supply will never end. REMEMBER DR. LIN IS HERE TO HELP YOU, AND HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BECOME A BEAUTIFUL SWAN.
