Description
Investigate the connections between genetics and behavior.
First, you'll pick a "behavior." Chapter 8 lists several behaviors,* but you are not limited to these examples - find something that interests you! Your assignment will be much more fun this way. Once you've decided upon a behavior, you'll look for a recent article(s) relating to the role of genetics/inheritance and your chosen behavior. This article(s) should be published within the past two years and can be from the popular press or a scientific journal - either one is fine! Finally, after reading the article(s), you should submit a brief summary (in your own words) and a reflection of the article.
Please note that this should be in paragraph form using complete sentences - do not bullet point answers as you work through the rubric. Please also note that you are not limited to the rubric! If there is more that you want to talk about and/or want to research, go for it! I'd love to read it!
Your analysis/discussion of the article(s) will be assessed using the following rubric:
Evaluative Item Assessment Considerations
the article is connected and relevant to the course
source credibility article source, research source, the credibility of the author(s), and agenda/motivation of publisher, author, and/or research group have been considered (note: not all articles will have all these components)
a summary student could identify and discuss the study design - including the hypothesis, the results, and how the conclusions relate to the original hypothesis
critique Consider the following: What is the general "take away" and does it differ from the "real" take away? Are there any limitations to the study and/or alternative explanations? Do you agree with the claims of the study? Why or why not?
