rather than examining

however

put a period after (Chapters 2 & 3) and then move the sentence "We are ready now to use these same skills to talk about multiple texts" right after. These two ideas need to be together. Then maybe for the third sentence....."We will be deciding how strong the argument in our text is (Chapter 4) and adding to the conversation in specific response to that text (Chapter 5).

Do you need commas on this sentence? It is a list of 3 but I don't know if the comma goes before or after the parentheses, or whether the parentheses can take the place of commas.

If you say 'free to choose' instead of 'free to use' you can eliminate bullet #5. As it is, it is repetitive.

Here are some aspects of such a paper to appreciate:

Now we are ready to make our own argument.......

Might sound silly to a reluctant writer.

Without explaining this more fully, I don't think this is helpful. Some students may have not done compare and contrast...or may not remember it in detail.

Beautifully said!

'achieving thoughtful understanding'. You use "think" shortly thereafter. Also "slow thinking" to me does not sound positive...

You could also say 'thoughtful consideration' or 'deliberate thinking'

Is there a correlation between strand-slippage and transposons? My initial reaction is to say no, but I think this paragraph not being under the "Mutations due to Transposable Elements" heading was confusing to me, and now I am not so sure.

• Materials that participate in the Magnetic Resonance process must contain nuclei with specific magnetic properties.
• To interact with a magnetic field, the nuclei themselves must be small magnets and have a magnetic property or magnetic moment.

1. Magnetic Moment: The magnetic moment is the magnetic strength and orientation (The direction of the force due to a magnetic field) of a magnet or other object that produces a magnetic field.

• Although a lot of elements and their isotopes have magnetic nuclei, there is a limited number of elements with magnetic nuclei that can be used for spectroscopic analysis. i.e. (1)^H and (13)^C

If you meant to continue with this example afterwards, then the next example for a cation should be +4 (since 26 protons - 22 electrons = +4 positivity charge)

Shouldn't this be 6.022 instead of 6.02?

Shouldn't this be to the power of -26, rather than -22?

Use the equation E=hc/lambda to solve for the wavelength. E will equal the work function of silver and hc is 1240nm *eV.

I think the last one is in error. Pa is Protactinium not Palladium. Palladium has the symbol Pd.

in classical physics, energy = intensity of light, not frequency. BUT metals have a threshold frequency where if a light exceeds that frequency, the electrons are emmitted. THUS, electrons--> intensity, kinetic energy --> frequenncy.

Yes.

If this is a spectrum or continuum, what is an example of a species that falls somewhere in the middle?

do r-selected species grow exponentially?

I think it's always interesting when it comes to the topic of overpopulation. It feels wrong that we have to kill a certain amount of animals, if there are no predators in a given area, but it's something that needs to be done for the population to be at a functional level.

So with this example, having a more dense population is better because there is a higher chance of more of the population surviving to reproduce, compared to a smaller population because there are less available mates (because of death and possible familial ties) in that scenario?

Do species always fall under one of the two extremes? Are there any species that display some attributes of K selection and some of r?

It's interesting that although pronghorns and primates both technically fall under the category of k-strategists, they still instinctively mate at different points in their lives -- with some species only mating when in heat, and others engaging at any point.

I find it interesting how so many different species spend their energy differently. It doesn't seem as though there is one type of energy that is selected for in nature because there is such variation in the way species spend their energy

The octopi from the podcast we listened to is an example of semelparity. Both the deep sea species from the podcast as well as shallow water species that the scientist also studied more in-depth are examples of this, but on different timelines.

I always though animals that had little to learn from their parents were interesting. Cool to see inherent behavior "programmed" instead of learned.

Animals that devote their energy to parental care has important impact on the development of the offspring later on. For example, rat material care is important for the helping the anxiety levels and behavior of the rat offsprings. When they the offspring get more material care, like licks, can help reduce anxiety in the rats compared to rats who did not get material care. Their behavior is more different and they are more anxious.

Praying mantises and some species of spiders are similar in that the male will offer themselves as food to their mate in order to ensure she is not hungry during the mating season.

Yellowstone is a decent example of this. Deer were overgrazing after the extinction of wolves and it eventually depleted much of the area's resources.

we are looking over this graph in bio, but I am still very confused. Will you provide extra problems to practice?

This is an interesting concept. I wonder if this connects to adaptability and survival of the fittest? Or are they mostly separate ideas?

what are some ways scientists ensure that these tags are not detrimental to the animal?

This is an important component I've noticed in a few science courses. In particular, for establishing and understanding populations growth, or possibly decline. I would imagine this to be important for conservationists.

How do scientist make sure that they are not over estimating or under estimating the population they are observing? What do they check for to see if these estimations are occurring? Is this based on variables that were already considered about the area before the observations started.

I didn't know that this was how mark and recapture worked. It is a simple but interesting equation. I would assume the accuracy of this method varies from species to species.

These types seems very closely related to k and r selected species types. Are individuals in type II often k selected like the birds described or is their an intermediate category?

This video was super helpful, because having a visual picture really aided my understanding of how chromosomes are accounted for throughout the stages of mitosis.

What is the difference between centrioles and spindle fibers? Do spindle fibers spring from the centrioles?

I know we have probably discussed this or I may have read over it and just forgot, but the remnants of the nuclear envelope stay in the cell correct? And then it also grows during anaphase and telophase so that it can surround the chromosomes in both the new cells in cytokinesis?

What would happen to the strands of DNA and the chromosomes if an error were to occur during one of the stages of Interphase? Would it be just a mutation like we learned about in Biological Concepts or something more complex?

Are there other thermostable DNA polymerases besides Taq polymerase?

I would agree that human activity is difficult to include in biodiversity. I think we have evolutionary diversity and our agricultural systems are diverse, but because of our drastic effects on the ecosystem, I don't see our species naturally fitting into biodiversity. I also think our overpopulation has decreased a lot of natural biodiversity.

Does this mean that studies in topics such as sociology and social psychology can be prevalent in human ecological research and visa versa?

Can you give a better example for this term? I still unsure how this term relates to biodiversity.

other than tagging, what are ways in which they can track the organisms while making sure that they are not recounting the same organism?

I think this is a great tool and method towards conservation. Being able to identify which are at risk more than others is essential.

Is this the same as allopatric?

What is an example of an incipient species?

This is interesting to me. I had not heard the term incipient species before.

This may be missing the point but in general do ecologists value diversity from one common ancestor vs many one of the other?

Can we go over the distinction between richness and diversity a bit more in class?

The changes of the atmosphere due to large amount of carbon dioxide being release should be a major policy concern for many countries who can help reduce the output of carbon dioxide. The rising of the heat in the atmosphere and the change the world's climate is leading to changes in different ecosystems and communities. This can lead to loss of biodiversity over time.

In my biology class, we have learned that oceans are a big factor for absorbing heat, however, it has been obviously noted that the oceans have been warming up way too much leading to ocean acidification and killing off biomes such as coral reefs, wouldn't these occurrences be an indicator that the oceans can no longer absorb the extra carbon release and heat? How much better can this be communicated to countries and companies that are large contributors of carbon?

Has there been any research on the increased greenhouse gases and if any particular species is adapting to it?

It would be interesting to see how these different organisms cope with increased carbon emissions and how their multiplication would affect their ecosystems.

Are the proteins being referred to called scaffold proteins?

What does genetic diversity look like in a single organism? Does it just it was reproduced with a diverse set of parent genetics?

I think process itself shows the importance of emergent properties.

incipient species could fall into this category (?)

I've heard about this term before, I wonder how common this is in the field?

I read about this before regarding insects, specifically mosquitos transmitting malaria. Originally, scientists thought there was one species transmitting the disease, but really it was six different species.

Does this figure include micro organisms, would it even be possible to make a figure with micro organisms or do they evolve too rapidly.

Would this be similar to how snow reflects sunlight?

This made me think of what we were discussing last class about difference in ecosystems. The clouds are no longer able to form causing the forest to dry up and change, therefore causing animals and other species to also die or face relocation.

Another interesting effect of the seasonal deciduous forests is the fact that during the summer in the norther hemisphere global atmospheric CO2 levels will drop due to the deciduous forests photosynthesizing and storing CO2.

This reminds me of how squirrels will bury their nuts for later! Though they can often forget where they buried them.

Perception involves attending, organizing, and interpreting. Perception impacts communication. Attending, organizing, and interpreting have specific definitions, and each is impacted by multiple variables.

Personal Experience Involvement Second involvement impacts your interpretation

Expectations Third, the expectations that we hold can impact the way we make sense of other people’s behaviors.

Assumptions Fourth, there are assumptions about human behavior

Relational Satisfaction Fifth, relational satisfaction will make you see things very differently.

Personal Experience First, personal experience impacts our interpretation of events. What prior experiences have you had that affect your perceptions?

the perception process has three stages: attending, organizing, and interpreting.

Attending

interpersonal communication, each time you talk to other people, you present a side of yourself. Sometimes this presentation is a true representation of yourself, and other times it may be a fake version of yourself

Anything that interferes with the message is called noise. Noise is anything that hinders or distorts the message. There are four types of noise. The first type is physical noise. The second type of noise is psychological noise. psychological noise is difficult to see or understand because it happens in the other person’s mind. third type of noise is semantic noise, which deals with language. jargon, accents, or language us The fourth and last type of noise is called physiological noise. receiver’s body interferes or hinders the acceptance of a message

The context or situation where communication occurs and affects the experience is referred to as the environment. won’t talk to your boss the same way you would talk to your best friend. (An exception might be if your best friend was also your boss).

Feedback is the response to the message. if the receiver understood the message, then it is positive feedback. receiver did not understand the message, then it is negative feedback. Positive feedback does not mean that the receiver entirely agrees We might correct our words and change how we communicate based on our internal feedback. ambiguous feedback might include saying “hmmm” or “interesting.”

The channel is the medium in which we communicate our message. The channel is the medium in which you learn about information. cell phones act as many different channels of communication at once. message impacts which channel they might use.

Messages include any type of textual, verbal, and nonverbal aspects of communication, in which individuals give meaning.

The receiver(s) is the individual who decodes the message and tries to understand the source of the message. Receivers have to filter messages based on their attitudes, beliefs, opinions, values, history, and prejudices.

The sender is the encoder or source of the message

transactional model of communication teaches us that we are both the sender and receiver simultaneously

know that choosing the right words – “encoding” sender is the person who decides to communicate and the intent of the message

sender, receiver, message, channel, feedback, and noise.

How humans form relationships by habitually comparing. research focused on the initiation of relationships. heory addressed cognitive uncertainty. Uncertainty Reduction theory emerged. This theory addressed cognitive uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the beliefs and attitudes of another) and behavioral uncertainty (uncertainty regarding how another person might behave) Three Strateries: Three strategies are used to reduce uncertainty, including passive, active, and interactive strategies. Passive strategies avoid disrupting the other individual and can be accomplished through observation. Active strategies involve asking a friend for information or observing social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Finally, interactive strategies involve direct contact with the other individual.

This could be a tutor?

This is such a helpful tip

Yes, as just an opportunity for a different perspective

Yes, that feeling of "not good enough," but a critique can be quite the opposite

I am totally not sure about this, but is there a need for an in-text citation? I am so used to citing...

Yes! She really does, and it is great for a writer to see that

This is a very well written chapter. I am not sure if I have too much to add to it.

This is such a great attribution to Lamott

This reminds me of the Pomodoro technique

I like this idea of connecting freewriting to the prompt from the very beginning of the writing process

This is a really great way to put it

This is a really great way to start creating some synthesis in argumentative/ research writing

Or branch out of it

Connecting this big concept to an assignment prompt?

I really like this one! For example, 10 things I know to be true about...

Can set a time limit by using a timer, for example, 10 - 15 minutes. Write without stopping and then, after the time is up, take a 5 minute break. After the break, come back to your writing so you can see it with "fresh eyes"

It is almost like having a conversation with the text. You can challenge assumptions, question, agree/ disagree, etc.

Question the text, the author, or the ideas presented in the text/ argument

Yes, this is truly when the writing process actually begins

Yes, these specific guidelines outline the criteria of the essay or assignment

It may also help to mention that styling the prompt will help students to make sure that they answer/ respond to the prompt directly in their writing. This way their writing should follow the prompt.

Yes, or those very first, very rough drafts

Yes, and simply because writing is a different kind of thinking within itself

This reminds me so much of Anne Lamott's writing "First Drafts"

Yes, and, in this case, ANY new assignment

This statement is just so relatable! I think that anyone who writes can really relate to it.

This image relates both the idea of what writing is through generating ideas and the actual process that we go through as writers.

I actually like this image. It is very compelling and interesting. I think that it reflects on the concept of the writing process quite well. I see that it already has an attribution. Is this image going to be the image for the chapter?

Main idea/summary

I found this statement confusing. "The author describes the poster's imagery, typography, and what the poster denotes" or are you saying the author describes the imagery and typography to explain what the poster denotes.

You may want to capitalize the "l" which is the American rule, the British rule does not.

I'm excited to read all the chapters in this book !

"the body of terms used with a particular technical application in a subject of study, profession, etc."

When we peer review, it can be really helpful for us because we get to know what we did good on and what we can improve on.

Summaries are a huge part of reading and writing. It helps us understand the main ideas of what we read.

These are big questions where people can spend countless hours debating and expressing their opinions and thoughts.

"countless or extremely great in number."

I've had a lot of thinking time considering these questions and after a couple days of thinking I know what my answers to these questions are.

I've gotten in trouble at times when I've made decisions based off fast thinking.

On social media, I like to send videos and other posts to my friends as soon as I finish looking at it.

I agree, more people's decisions are impacted based on emotions but I think people should think more about their decisions and base it on logic.

I want to become a nurse so I know writing is going to be a big part of the job.
