HW - 3/21/13

There is no formal homework tonight. Feel free to work on Assignment 17 and/or review your notes from this/last week (ESPECIALLY if you are going to take the quiz make-up).

Assignment #17 - Saving the World, One Micronutrient at a Time

Your task is to draft a convincing proposal for an idea for effectively and efficiently trying to alleviate micronutrient malnutrition in the developing world.

Convincing proposals:

·         Have a clear goal and claim

·         Explain what is going to be done

·         Support why the proposal is such a good idea

o   Use evidence from texts, data sets, etc. in order to do so

§  Think about the roles of different nutrients studied this week – for example, its role(s) in the body as well as symptoms and problems associated with deficiency

o   Use paraphrasing/direct citations from sources and a bibliography

·         Acknowledge that other possible plans exist but discuss their shortcomings in order to strengthen the original proposal

Resources for setting up an APA bibliography/citations can be found here.
