I am considering a short essay/research paper like assignment in which
students track down an abuse or misuse of science (most likely in the media,
but not necessarily). This would be for a general education, freshman-level
course.
In the interest of not reinventing the wheel I wanted to ask the member of
this list if they have done anything like this before. Is anyone willing to
share their assignment and experiences with it?
Thanks!
Jeff
