Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a homework question that asks participants to write an article based on one of three broad scientific topics, focusing on a significant scientific development related to that topic. The scope includes conceptual understanding and application of scientific writing.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Maria expresses confusion about the homework question and seeks clarification on how to approach it.
  • Gib Z suggests that Maria should choose one of the three topics and focus on a recent discovery within that area, providing an example related to Arachnids and anti-venoms, although he notes uncertainty about the validity of the example.
  • Maria inquires whether it would be acceptable to write about the current situation of animals as a topic, seeking further validation of her approach.
  • Another participant agrees that writing about the current situation should be acceptable and encourages Maria to share her article for feedback once completed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the approach to the homework question, but there is some uncertainty regarding the specific topics and examples that can be used.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the clarity of what constitutes a "significant scientific development," and the examples provided may depend on the definitions and interpretations of the topics.

Basically the question is telling you to pick one of those 3 options, and write an article on that topic, with your main point being a new discovery in that topic.

For example, if you chose forms of animals and/or plant life, you might decide to write an article on Arachnids, and perhaps there has been a development in the production of Arachnid anti-venoms. I don't actually know if that example is valid though.
 
Hi Gib Z thanks for the fast answer! Do you think can I write as well about the currently situation about the animals? Do u think it is ok? Or not?

best wishes

O Yes it should be ok =] Perhaps when you are done you should post it here for some people to take a quick skim through, they may not be able to tell you an accurate and detailed evaluation of the article, but they'll be able to tell you if it generally answered the question.
