You may hear news stories on TV or the radio, find information on various websites, or see newspaper or magazine articles. Your professors communicate scientific information with you and your fellow students. One of the major activities for scientists involves communicating scientific information. This takes different forms, depending on the audience. In the scientific community, new findings or interpretations are published in peer-reviewed journals that specialize in particular fields of study (these may also be communicated at conferences, through presentations or posters seen by other interested scientists.) Scientists communicate less formally with their peers in departments and with their graduate or honours students. Scientists who teach also communicate with students in the classroom or lab setting. Reporters may also consult with scientists, which results in information being communicated through mass media. You will sometimes need to search for appropriate sources of scientific information. In most of your science courses, you will be expected to find, read and cite primary literature sources (i.e. reports of original research) as the major reference sources for statements in your essays and portions of lab reports (e.g. Introduction or Discussion sections). Secondary literature sources are typically interpretations of primary resources and include books and review articles, and provide a summary of what is known in a particular area; organizing, synthesizing, and critically evaluating the relevant literature on the topic. Secondary literature can often be very useful when you are gathering information on a topic, but you will usually need to find and read primary articles when you are preparing your own written work. Plagiarism The following is taken directly from the York University Senate Policy on Academic Honesty http://www.yorku.ca/academicintegrity/ “Plagiarism is the misappropriation of the work of another by representing another person’s ideas, writing or other intellectual property as one’s own. This includes the presentation of all or part of another person’s work as something one has written, paraphrasing another’s writing without proper acknowledgement, or representing another’s artistic or technical work or creation as one’s own. Any use of the work of others, whether published, unpublished or posted electronically, attributed or anonymous, must include proper acknowledgement.” Plagiarism is considered a very serious offense in the university environment; why? Type your answer in the text box below (1 mark). Which of the following is/are considered plagiarism? Type your answer (one or more letters corresponding to your selected choice(s)) in the text box below. (1 mark) A. A lab report containing only one paragraph that is copied word for word from an Internet site. B. A lab report containing two paragraphs copied directly from a primary resource. C. A lab report that has a few words altered in a paragraph, or sentences presented in reverse order, but is almost identical to a paragraph found in a tertiary resource. Information not referenced. D. A lab report that is extremely similar to that of student who took the course 3 years ago. E. A lab report that presents data found on the Internet and not that collected by the author. Answer: There are thousands of environmental/conservation issues currently occurring in Canada that are of great interest and concern to people who live here. Examples of such issues include, but are definitely not limited to: · Wind turbines/farms and birds and/or bats · Carbon emissions and air quality, temperature changes, weather patterns... · Alberta oil sands and air or water quality... · Pulp and paper industry and water quality and aquatic organism (e.g. fish) health... · Declining numbers of frogs, bees, songbirds... · Highway runoff (e.g. road salt) and plants, groundwater, soil, aquatic invertebrates. · Invasive species including the Asian long-horned beetle, emerald ash borer, round goby. · Arctic ice sheets and polar bear survival For this lab, you will choose two Canadian-related environmental/conservation topics that are of interest to you. Make sure your topics are very specific and not too general. If you need help coming up with a topic, look at the list above or the topics in the Government websites on the last page of handout #2. Topic One (3 marks) A) What is your first Canadian environmental topic of interest? (Be specific.) Type answer below: B) Describe why you are interested in this topic. (“I think it sounds cool” is not adequate.) C) Brainstorming: Before you look anything up, outline what you currently know about this topic (i.e. in terms of issues). Accuracy of information is not important. Topic Two (3 marks) A) What is your second Canadian environmental topic of interest? (Be specific.) B) Outline/describe why you are interested in this topic. (“I am super passionate about this topic” does not answer the question.) C) Brainstorming: Before you look anything up, outline/describe what you currently know about this topic (i.e. in terms of issues). Accuracy of information is not important. Locating Media Articles Through the York Library System students have access to many media releases including those from several daily newspapers from across Canada. Available newspapers include the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Globe & Mail, Halifax Daily News, Montreal Gazette, National Post, Ottawa Citizen, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun and Winnipeg Free Press. Canadian newspaper articles can be located using a ProQuest search engine and the “News- Canadian Newsstand” database. Search terms (keywords) and Boolean language (e.g. and, or) are used for searches. Your task is to locate one useful and relevant newspaper article related to Topic One and one useful and relevant newspaper article related to Topic Two. What do we mean by “useful and relevant”? The article must inform the reader about the topic and make reference to other related material (e.g. to an expert, a meeting, book, research paper...) or be reporting on a related event that occurred. The article should not be just a financial report or strictly the author’s opinion. You may need to locate and read several newspaper articles before finding one that matches the above parameters. See the Lab eClass site for an example of an appropriate article. Note: you cannot choose the example article. Your articles should not be more than two years old (i.e. published no earlier than 2019). If you cannot find an appropriate article for your chosen topics, pick another Canadian environmental topic(s). List at least three keywords you will you use in your searches. See your Brainstorming above for ideas. Topic One Topic Two The Newspaper Database 1. Go to the library website http://www.library.yorku.ca/web/ 2. Go to “Research Guides” 3. Below the welcome
