Text: BIOL110 Fundamentals of Cell Biology Semester Project Part 3 Point values: Copies of articles - 10 points Synthesis of articles - 50 points Reference page - 5 points Total: 65 points Article Summaries Info: This research & writing assignment will be comprised of both articles on the same topic. A copy of the articles will be submitted with your synthesis. Writing a synthesis about your articles: a. This section should include an introduction paragraph that gives a brief introduction/explanation of the topic of your article. This should be your first paragraph. b. What is a synthesis? i. The main purpose of a synthesis essay is to make insightful connections. Those connections can show the relationship(s) between parts of a work or even between two or more works. It is your job to explain why those relationships are important. In order to write a successful synthesis essay, you must gather research on your chosen topic (your 2 articles), discover meaningful connections throughout your research (your articles), and develop a unique and interesting argument or perspective. ii. A synthesis is not a summary. A synthesis is an opportunity to create new knowledge out of already existing knowledge, i.e., other sources. You combine and synthesize the information in your sources to develop an argument or a unique perspective on a topic. Your thesis statement becomes a one-sentence claim that presents your perspective and identifies the new knowledge that you will create. c. This section must be at least 2 typed pages (APA style; 12-point font). 3) You must provide a Reference page presented in the correct format. (See previous handout)
