The label above was produced using times font (12) on Microsoft
Word on a Macintosh and printed on a laser printer. Left margin
was 0.5 inches, top margin was 0.5 inches and the bottom margin
was 0.2 inches (the right margin isn't important). By having the
margins similar to these you can get three labels on the same
sheet.
PLANT BIOLOGY RESEARCH SUMMARY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
Assignment: Each student will be required to do a short
summary of the most recent botanical research on a topic of their
own choosing. The final product will be a three-four page (typed,
double-spaced) summary paper and an associated bibliography. The
grade will be determined by the depth of research, the recentness
of the references, and the integration and understanding shown in
the summary. The purpose of this paper is not for you to produce
a lengthy tome; rather it is for you to learn about doing
up-to-date research on a specific scientific topic. You are
required to use both ALICE (General Science Index) and the
FirstSeach (Lifesciences/BIOSIS) on-line computer search
capability available at the Abell Library. Indicate in your
bibliography which references were found using ALICE and
FirstSearch. You should also make use of the interlibrary loan
option if needed. The citation of references and the format of
your bibliography/literature cited must follow the examples on
the attached papers. I suggest you discuss your choice of topic
with me before investing substantial time. Staple this sheet to
the front of your paper prior to handing it in. This assignment
is due Tuesday, 12 November.
