My BIRW project will be about GMO’s or genetically modified
organisms. Because that is such a broad topic, this project will be

Order Paper Nownarrowed down to concentrating on genetically engineered crops and plant
food that humans consume.
I would like to discuss the following topics and questions:
- Explain how GMOs are created.
- What is the purpose of genetically engineering crops and what are the benefits?
- Are foods that contain GMOs safe for human consumption?
- Are there any regulations on genetically modified crops?
- What is the future of genetically engineering food crops? The following are the instructions:
Review the draft rubric before you start preparing your deliverable. Remember, your deliverable format is your choice, as identified in your proposal. You could opt for a word processed document, an MP4 file, a YouTube video, etc. You will need to share your actual project with your instructor. If your deliverable identified in your proposal was a video, your draft submission should be a video. Regardless of your format, your draft must include the following components: - Project Timeline: Identify the milestones from your proposal (edits are acceptable), clearly indicating which have been accomplished and when. Also, indicate the anticipated completion date of remaining project milestones.
- Key Vocabulary: At least 10 relevant vocabulary words with definitions in your own words.
- Module Connection: A description of meaningful connections between your project and the
textbook content, module objectives, and/or course learning outcomes. Simply listing objectives and
outcomes is not sufficient. - Real World Connection: A description of the meaningful connections between your project and your academic/professional career and/or personal life.
- References: Formatted consistently in the same style, such as APA.
This project will assess your critical thinking, scientific literacy, and information literacy. In the execution and presentation of your project, you are expected to:
- Properly research your topic, evaluating sources for credibility and bias before using them to support your position.
- Develop a clear position (ALL projects can take a position – reach out to your instructor if you get stuck here).
- Integrate evidence from various sources to form a scientific argument.
- Bridge information from the theoretical to the real world (module to your project and project to your personal/academic/professional life).
- The grading rubic is as follows:

Project PresentationProject Execution20.0 ptsProficientYour work presents a well-executed deliverable (text, video, etc.) as appropriate for your chosen activity. For text submissions, your work contained strong spelling and grammar, paragraph structure, and formatting. For non-text submissions, your work was polished and professional.10.0 ptsSatisfactoryYour work presents your chosen deliverable. While it needs work, it shows good faith effort. You made an attempt to organize, edit, and format your work for clarity and flow.8.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementYour work presents your chosen deliverable. Your work does not indicate good faith effort to meet the course expectations.0.0 ptsUnacceptableThe actual deliverable is not presented.20.0 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome
Critical ThinkingProject Execution10.0 ptsProficientYou actively sought out new perspectives or raised big and potentially controversial questions. Flexibility of your position is demonstrated as you explored new evidence. It is clear that you are comfortable making decisions based on scientific information, making you a responsible citizen and an educated consumer.6.0 ptsSatisfactoryYou explored new directions or perspectives. You clearly respect the complexities of the issue(s). You demonstrated critical thinking.4.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementYour approach recognized alternate perspectives but did not expand your intellectual boundaries. You did not consistently demonstrate critical thinking habits of mind.0.0 ptsUnacceptableYour approach dismissed or ignored alternate perspectives, demonstrating closed habits of mind. Your position is unclear or too simplistic.10.0 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome
Evidence & ArgumentProject Execution10.0 ptsProficientYou interpreted information from multiple credible sources to develop a comprehensive analysis of the evidence to support your position. You systematically and methodically analyzed assumptions (your own and others’).6.0 ptsSatisfactoryYou interpreted information from credible sources to develop a coherent analysis of the evidence to support your position. You acknowledged assumptions made in your argument (or the arguments of others).4.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementYour position could be improved through stronger synthesis and evaluation of the information.0.0 ptsUnacceptableInformation is taken from sources without interpretation or evaluation, resulting in a weak argument without supporting evidence.10.0 pts

Module ConnectionCourse Connection20.0 ptsProficientYou used information from the textbook to comprehensively describe connections between your project and module learning objectives and/or course learning outcomes. You provided page numbers, URLs, images, etc. as appropriate. A strong understanding of the material is evident through synthesis and evaluation of the content.12.0 ptsSatisfactoryMost of your connections are appropriate, but some are missing, weak (poorly supported), or inaccurate. You provided page numbers, URLs, images, etc. as appropriate. Your understanding of the material is evident through application and analysis of the content.8.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementYour comprehension of module connections is flawed or superficial. To improve, first consider which course modules might relate to your project, then explore each module learning objective to identify which best relate. Modules 1 and 2 are gold mines for most projects!0.0 ptsUnacceptableYou did not draw any clear connections between module content and your project. A simple listing of book sections or module learning objectives does not reach the level of drawing connections.20.0 pts
