It should include a clear, concise description of a particular function, what is known about that function, and what is hypothetical. The second part is an analysis of some particular investigative research on the topic. It should include a statement of the problem, a statement of the hypothesis to be tested and a brief description of the research. Finally, there should be an analysis of the research, which may take the form of a critique, a perspective or perhaps some ideas about further studies. The final section will be given the most weight in the grading.
Papers are due on the last day of the semester.
Any directly quoted material must be set off in quotation marks and cited appropriately. Figures may be included, but they should have clearly worded figure legends accompanying them. All references must be properly cited and listed in a reference section at the end of the paper. For additional guidelines on the basics of this course, see the instructor for Physiology 3071.
