Each student will select a topic, either from the list overleaf, or themselves – but if choosing themselves, it must be approved by Prof Cuesta (angel.cuestaciscar@abdn.ac.uk) or Prof Harrison (w.harrison@abdn.ac.uk). You should produce a coherent essay, of 1500–2000 words (which is equivalent to about three or four A4 pages of text 1½ spacing), with equal weight given to the following: 1. Briefly describing the research carried out (at a level reasonably expected of a level-3 undergraduate student); 2. Highlighting the ethical issues – unethical or simply mistaken in some way? 3. Which of Resnik’s list (if any) have been violated? Discuss… 4. What could have been done better? How could they have avoided the issues? The essay will be graded on the common grading scheme on the basis of the following: Clarity of essay, both in language and presentation; Description of underlying science at a sensible level; Understanding of ethical issues involved; A clear statement of your opinions; Supporting references, sensibly used (i.e. not just Wikipedia…); Correct length (i.e. hasn’t crammed in 4 pages of single lined font 10 or – the opposite – double spaced font 14!!). Use of supporting figures and tables is encouraged, but only if they aid understanding (i.e. don’t just include random pictures cut-and-pasted from the Internet for the sake of it).
