For these assignments you are to submit a typed, double-spaced response of at least THREE pages. In your response you need to demonstrate that you understand the issues discussed in the topic and that you can relate them to your life and the real world outside of this class. Since this is similar to what you are going to be asked to do on the mid-term test, this assignment is meant to help prepare you for the test. For this assignment you can choose from any of the topics in Unit #2 (Evolution of Life, The Complexity of Identity or The Banality of Evil).
