Subject: Students in BIOL 1340 needing assignment help
Hi all,
Lately I have been seeing students needing assignment assistance in BIOL 1340 – The State of the Earth’s Environment. Attached is a handout that each student in that class can download from their D2L that I put together to get them started
on their searching. This assignment is due on April 10 but I will be away from March 19-27, returning on March 30 so there may be a few students who would be coming in during this time.
The assignment guidelines are the following:
Students are asked to write a short synopsis (5-8 pages) of the current literature (from scientific Journals and other established sources) about one of the following topics.
·
Global warming: the action taken
·
International action on the ozone: what steps are being taken and what results are being observed
·
Water shortages in different areas of the world. Political and social consequences
·
The earth’s human carrying capacity: what is a viable number?
·
Population programs in developing nations. Success and failures
·
Genetically modified foods: possible impacts on humans or ecosystems
Students need to restrict their searches to the following:
·
Publication range from 2010-2015
·
Minimum of 5 primary, peer-reviewed sources
Students can use any reference style of their choice, I would recommend APA.
Hopefully this helps when answering these reference questions at the Services Desk.
