You will be completing the following tasks and gathering the following information for your paper: 1. Watch the epigenetics video from PBS. Begin your paper by defining epigenetics in your own words and discussing your reaction to the video. 2. Research and locate one article on epigenetics (select a study on research conducted on humans, not plants or insects) from a reputable academic source: Reputable Sources: • journal articles • government publications based on research Do not use: • magazines of any sort, printed or online • Wikipedia How to Perform Your Research Use the College Library in person or online (log in with your MDC ID number. Your password is the last four digits of your MDC ID unless you have changed it). 3. Read the epigenetics article you find. Continue your paper with a discussion of the epigenetics article. Be sure to paraphrase (put things in your own words) and be sure to cite the author(s) of the article you find using APA style (see the section below on using APA style). Aim for about a page for this part of your paper. 4. Complete the Family History-Dr. Oz.pdf. Discuss the concept of epigenesis in light of your family history.

This should be your final page. You can go over or under a page for any of the sections of the paper as long as your total paper is 1,000 words not counting the references. General Rules for an “A” Paper • 1,000 words • Original work; plagiarism score of less than 10% (90% original work) • Double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins • Covers all 6 tasks • Spellchecked • College-level grammar • Cite your article APA style. • No abstract, no cover • Place your name and reference number on the first page. Use page numbers. Submit the paper by the deadline in the Calendar & Checklist (usually Week 12 in 16-week semesters, and Week 9 in 12-week semesters) in the Turnitin Drop Box located in the Study Guides, Exams & Drop Box folder. The deadline is also shown in the Calendar. The box will open on the day after the Midterm Exam so that you have time to submit your paper, review the originality report, and resubmit your paper if necessary until you have a plagiarism score of under 10% (90% original work). If you resubmit, note that it takes 24 hours for your new score to show up in the Turnitin Drop Box. You will not be able to resubmit after the due date. Submission to Turnitin Drop Box The Turnitin Drop Box is in Blackboard Learn system. You do NOT have to go to Turnitin to submit your paper. The box will open the day after the Midterm closes. The box is in the Paper folder (these instructions are also copied to the Paper folder). Turnitin is a plagiarism checking software. It checks to see if your work is original. We have set the Turnitin Drop Box so you can submit your paper as many times as you want until the due date. That will allow you to check your plagiarism score and see where your work is not original. You can then rephrase that section and put it into your own words. The expectation in this course is that your paper scores no more than 10% in plagiarism. You will be able to resubmit your paper as many times as you need to in order to get it right. Note that it takes 24 hours to see your new plagiarism score after resubmission. No more than 2 or 3 short quotes in the entire paper, please. Avoiding Plagiarism You must be careful not to copy someone else’s ideas and not to copy and paste ideas from the sources you find. Copying and pasting from someone else’s work is considered plagiarism. You may use other people’s ideas, but you have to put them in your own words and reference the source. Putting things in your own words is called “paraphrasing.” And you must put the reference right after the idea. Needless to say, submitting plagiarized papers, including those copied from one of the Web sites that have “free” papers or even papers you can buy, will result in a penalty. That penalty is up to your instructor, but it will result in at least your receiving a ZERO GRADE for the paper. The paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course. Don’t risk it! APA Style and References One thing you will need to do in college is learn how to find and use references. References support your ideas. College-level work must be supported by research. You are expected to do that for this paper. You will research, locate, and use one reputable source from the literature on the topic of epigenetics/epigenesis. The “literature” is composed of studies that have been conducted in a scholarly way to support ideas. Scholarly sources can be found in journals or in some Web sites, especially those that come from .edu domains (.edu is short for “educational” Web sites) or .gov domans (.gov are government sites). The College Libraries have dozens of good journals you can use. You will be using the College Library for this paper. You may do the research in person or use the Web to access our library. See your librarian for more information on finding credible sources. In APA style, you cite a source in two places: within the body of the paper where you use the idea or words of the author of the paper; and again in the Reference List at the end of the paper. For example, you might say, “According to Researcher A (2011)…epigenetics is…” What you must do is supply the researcher’s name within a sentence or at the end of a sentence in parenthesis (Researcher A, 2011). Then you give the full information for locating the study in the Reference List. That’s what Reference Lists are for: they allow the person reading your paper to look up your source if they want to. So remember, citing references APA style, requires two things: 1) that you cite the reference within the body of the paper, and 2) that you list the full reference at the end in the Reference List. APA Tutorial There are multiple tutorials and other training sources on APA style at the APA Web site. You do NOT have to buy the APA Manual to do this paper.

Purpose Written proposals for research projects help writers “get started” by deciding and focusing on a chosen topic, narrowing that focus by coming up with a specific research question (or questions, in some cases), and determining the types of sources the writer will need to consult. A proposal also provides the opportunity to receive feedback and guidance on the practicability of the writing project. Audience Professor/instructor and, in this case, members of the class. Length Two to three pages, or 600 to 900 words. Format MLA: typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font; and one-inch margins. Content and Organization o Introduction ▪ Introduce topic by providing general background information on the topic and a research question, or working thesis. o Body Paragraphs ▪ Explain why you are interested in topic. ▪ Explain why you feel the topic may be interesting to others. ▪ Discuss the sources you will need to consult o Conclusion ▪ Sum up your case for your chosen topic Submission Draft of Proposal must be submitted to the Discussion Board on iCollege by noon Sunday, Nov. 8th.

You are required to complete a review of Amy Bach’s book Ordinary Injustice. You are free to structure the review paper however you like, however it is important that answers to the following questions are incorporated in to the review. While there is no strict page limit, 4 pages should be sufficient to demonstrate your understanding of the important issues in the text. Some guidelines on how this will be graded: 1) First and foremost, it is important to demonstrate that you have read and understood the book, and can draw evidence from your reading to provide examples to justify your answers to the questions. 2) Where indicated, I want to see your opinions and reasons for your opinion (e.g. personal experience, evidence from the book, things you have learned. 3) Please carefully proof read your paper for spelling and grammar. Questions: Provide a brief summary of the book, including who the main characters are, what the courtroom failures are that Amy Bach documents, and what is meant by “Ordinary Injustice”. What is Assembly-line justice, and what is its relationship to due process? What’s the importance of “show-trials”? Who do you think is the most important actor in the court system? In what ways should we define success in the court system? Do you think the problems outlined by Amy Bach are necessary evils? Would our court system fail without them? What can be done? How can communities take back their courts? What’s your overall evaluation of the book? (i.e. do you have any criticisms?, is there any information you were surprised to learn?)
