Description

The student will compose a brief essay comparing and contrasting scientific communication, including the role science plays in contemporary society (DSL 200.1), distinguishing between science and pseudoscience, and identifying when science is misrepresented in the media (DSL 200.3). The scientific data must be from reputable source(s) and must be accurately interpreted and cited (DSL 200.4). Additional reliable sources may be referred to, as needed or required.

The first source listed at the bottom is a news article discussing the primary study listed below it. The best strategy is to first read and understand the abstract of the scientific study. Abstracts often contain summaries of all parts of the scientific method. Further details can be uncovered by reading the paper, but most information required for the assignment can be found in the abstract. It is recommended that students attempt to read the entire scientific paper to understand the details of the study. There may be scientific jargon in the paper, so do your best to look up terms and notations that are commonly used to fully understand what the study is discussing. If further help is needed to understand the jargon, please reach out and I will do my best to assist.

Once students have read and understood what the study says, they should then move on to reading the news article that is reporting the details of that study. Students should then be able to evaluate how effectively the information is communicated to the lay public in the news article. Students should look for any inaccuracies, omissions, or misrepresentations in the news article and point them out with specific examples. Incidents of well reported sections of the study should also be highlighted with examples where possible.

Wherever possible, students should use the concepts described in the Communications Module on how proper scientific reporting should be conducted. Try to focus on examples of good scientific reporting illustrated while pointing out any areas of poor scientific reporting that deserve appropriate criticism. Bear in mind, a news article will never be as detailed as the original study, but they should relate the important information to their audience with sufficient detail and context without misleading the audience in any way.

Evaluation 

For full details on evaluation, please refer to the grading rubric below. The journal includes the following processes and requirements:

Introduction-1 paragraph

Start with an engaging attention getter, and introduce the topic of the paper by identifying the scientific observations/problems addressed by the media communication and in the scientific communication;

Identify which source is the media or secondary source, and which source is the scientific or primary source;

Write a valid hypothesis statement for the scientific article/study and explain if the hypothesis is presented correctly in the media source;

Body-4-6 paragraphs

Compare and contrast each of the remaining sections of the scientific method including research methods (experiment or methods & materials), results including data table/chart analysis (Note: I require one data chart at minimum from the scientific study to be included in the paper along with the student’s interpretation of the data), and research conclusions comparing what is stated in the media source and the scientific source, and then noting how they’re the same or different;

Provide a brief summary of the quality of reporting based on the compare and contrast analysis, keeping in mind that while a scientific news report does not have to be as detailed as the study it’s based on, it does need to provide good detail and context of the information for the reader (please refer to lecture materials on this subject presented in the communications module);

Conclusion-1 paragraph

Move into a conclusion by providing a transition statement that indicates the paper is wrapping up.

Summarize the key points in your paper, focusing on the compare and contrast analysis as well as the summary of the quality of journalism

Have a definitive closing statement that wraps up your paper in a meaningful way without making any new claims.
