The Extra Credit Assignment Write a one to two page paper that describes 1) what the person or people said 2) your thoughts about what the person of people said 3) whether or not the presentation involved using the scientific method. a) if it did, please describe how it used the scientific method. Were there descriptions of observations, developing hypotheses, testing the hypotheses, developing theories? Did the person present evidence of how and/or why we should be certain of the conclusions? Was there discussion of questions that remain unanswered? b) if it did not, what aspect(s) of the scientific method were missing? In other words, why are you saying that the presentation did not involve the scientific method? ***Please note: The presence of the scientific method in a presentation is not a judgment of "good" or "bad". You very well might go to a wonderful, inspiring, valuable presentation that does not happen to involve the scientific method. That's perfectly OK. The point of the assignment is practice in analyzing how we know what we know.
