Read the Mother Courage article and the DIY scientist articles.  What major ethical error did a doctor make in the first article? What do you attribute the difference in insight between this doctor and Jill Viles? You will get 6 points for answering this question. You will get 1 point if you comment on someone else’s answer (Give their name), but you must first make a comment before you can read and comment. Note that I must approve the first comment, so you won’t see your comments until after I approve them.

Here are an issue that came up last semester. More will be posted as they become relevant to the current material.

Worksheets: Worksheets are not graded. They are just for practice.

A student had a question about the group worksheets. As a project that has been going on for a number of years, I have had my students make problems that involved going to a site (Genetics Home Reference) and finding a disease based on their name. I have then used these problems for future classes. Many (but not all) of the group worksheet problems came from these students (note that there are names next to problems that have not been solved, these are the names of the students who made the problems).

You do not need to look up any information on the disease, that is just for your interest.
