My Projects
Students will use this forum to work on a collaborative project. Students will choose a scientific article and will work around it on a research paper. The option of choosing your own article is feasible, but only upon your instructor approval. Please, work on this project with a partner and the make sure all your contributions are made through this forum. If you still don’t have a partner, notify your instructor and I will do my best to pair you with someone. From this point on, your attendance will be monitored mainly through your participation on this forum.
