Welcome to the research guide for your course in biology!
This course includes a research project that will engage your biological understanding and evaluation of ethical issues.
In selecting a topic, it must be relevant to academic discourse. The resulting project should be a thorough treatment of the subject, well written, and well researched. As the paper in only 1,500 to 2,000 words, your paper should be well organized and the writing should be clear and concise. A minimum of 5 scholarly resources is required. Your sources may be from books, peer reviewed journals, or authoritative websites. When evaluating any source for scholarship/authority, the author should be a recognized expert in the field and the publisher a recognized academic publishing entity.
To aid you in identifying scholarly sources, the following research guides for major and minor areas of study at PHC are linked below. These guides were developed in collaboration with the professors in those departments and will enhance that portion of your paper. Additionally, scientific sources are available within the databases and journal titles listed below with additional suggestions provided by your professor.
