CSI Part 4 - Making the Case!
Assignment RequirementsYou have analyzed and scrutinized the evidence, so now it is time to make your case as the prosecutor! First, you need to decide who to prosecute for the murder of Chelsie Vapolt. Then, you will write a legal brief that utilizes the facts and evidence from the case to make an argument for why the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.This legal brief should contain the following elements: Your hypothesis for the case. The hypothesis should clearly state who the defendant is, the crime that they are being been charged with, and their motive. (Note: there can only be ONE defendant!)Possible charges include :Murder: Suspect intentionally killed the victim and planned out the entire crime beforehand.Intentional manslaughter: Suspect intentionally killed the victim in the heat of the moment. A crime of passion without forethought.Accidental manslaughter: Suspect accidentally killed the victim. The murder was unintentional. A narrative of the case -- You should provide a brief overview of the key facts of the case and a timeline of events, explaining how they support your hypothesis. You can utilize the timeline and character web diagrams that you developed in CSI week 1 as part of your narrative. (Make sure that you provide a text explanation for any diagrams that you include!) A discussion of the key evidence that supports your hypothesis. An effective brief will include multiple types of evidence from the case file, autopsy report, hair analysis, UV light testing, Kastle-Meyer blood test, and DNA analysis. Do not discuss every single piece of evidence that you analyzed for the case. Rather, you should select the key pieces of evidence that support your argument. To receive full credit, you must include a minimum of three different pieces of evidence. For each piece of physical or DNA evidence that you discuss, you should clearly and concisely explain the results of your analysis and how those results support your argument. Make sure you describe how the evidence fits into the larger narrative about your case. Rebuttal of the arguments that the defense could use to show reasonable doubt about the guilt of the defendant. Pick a minimum of two facts or pieces of evidence and describe how the defense could use them to bring doubt to your case. Explain how you would counter the defense's argument. To support their argument, the defense may utilize different pieces of evidence than you did or they may use the same pieces of evidence but provide a different interpretation.Your legal brief should be a minimum of 250 words, be well-organized and present a clear, convincing narrative of the case. Be sure to avoid arguments that rely upon emotions or are not supported by the evidence or facts of the case. Before you begin writing, I recommend that you review the previous CSI assignments as you will need to incorporate your findings from those assignments into your brief: CSI Part 1: Case File and AutopsyCSI Part 2: Evidence AnalysisFacts of the CaseSubmission GuidelinesThis assignment will be submitted via Turnitin.

UMGC BIOL 103 How the Vaccine Works Research Paper
Step 1: Innovations in Biology and Technology - Finding Information Sources and Outline (1%)
Choose one of the provided topics (see list below, a-e).
Search the library and/or the internet to locate 3 reliable information sources that you may use for this assignment. The purpose of this step is to get the research process started; you are not required to use these information sources in the final version of your assignment.
Write 1-2 sentences for each information source explaining why you believe these sources are reliable using what you learned from the UMGC library article.
Write references to the 3 information sources in APA format: https://libguides.umgc.edu/apa-examp.
Create an outline for the writing assignment. The outline should be in a bullet list format and include the major topics that you plan to include in your assignment, with some supportive detail for each topic. It should not be a draft with full sentences and paragraphs.
Topic Choices:
a) Vaccines. Your friend is worried about the many vaccines that his newborn son is scheduled to receive and asks you for advice since you are taking a biology course. Start with an explanation of how vaccines work. Briefly contrast the traditional methods used to create vaccines with more recently used biotechnology techniques, including the COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. Explain how the mRNA vaccines work based on your knowledge of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. What are some of the diseases that infants and children in the US are routinely vaccinated against? How have vaccinations impacted the frequency of these diseases over the past 100 years? Why are some people worried about giving their children vaccines? Why do some people believe that the MRR vaccine can cause autism? Is there scientific evidence to support these concerns? Conclude with advice to your friend in regard to getting the recommended vaccines based on what you learned from reliable information sources.
Step 2: Innovations in Biology and Technology. Writing Assignment (9%
recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems
make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations
weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method

In this lab, you will investigate the behavior of the human nervous system and make observations of the special senses.Activity 1: Touch Receptors (worth 10 points total)List four sensations detected by the tactile receptors in the skin(1)(2) (3) (4) Get a volunteer to touch each of these locations on your body using the same pressure. Close your eyes and rank how sensitive each area is from 1 (low sensitivity) to 5 (high sensitivity). Put your rankings in the chart.Touch Receptors LocationRank the concentration of receptors (Low:1-High:5)FingertipHeel of handForearmElbowBack of neckAnswer this question: What can you conclude about the density of touch receptors in your skin? Activity 2: Vision (worth 15 points total)Label the parts of the eye in the picture. The choices are optic nerve, cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and retina.(1)(2) (3) (4) (5) (6)Test the age of your eyes.
Hold a pencil or ballpoint pen vertically at arm's length.Close your left eye and focus on the tip.Quickly bring the pencil closer to your eye until it is out of focus.Have your partner measure the distance between your eye and the pencil.Repeat for both eyes.Try it with and without glasses (if you wear glasses).Age of your EyesCm91013185083Age102030405060Answer these questions:What was the "age" of your eyes?Right without glasses ______________ with glasses __________________Left without glasses ________________ with glasses __________________How does this compare to your actual age? Use your notes from this lesson to describe how the eye processes what is sees. Using what you know about eyesight and image processing, why can age affect the function of the eyes? Activity 3: Hearing and Balance (worth 15 points total)Label the parts of the ear in the picture. The choices are ear canal, oval window, cochlea, pinna, tympanic membrane, ear ossicles, cochlear nerve, semicircular canals, and Eustachian tube.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)Test your sense of balance.
Stand upright with your partner nearby in case you fall.Have your partner record the length and quality of your attemptsBend your right leg and hold your foot in your right hand.Balance like this as long as you can (minimum 30 seconds).Try the same pose, but close both of your eyes.Again, have your partner nearby recording your attempts.Balance for as long as possible.Try the same pose, but close your eyes and tilt your head back slowly.Again, have your partner nearby recording your attempts.Balance for as long as possible. Balance StanceTime (min.)StabilityStanding on one foothigh---moderate---lowOne foot, eyes closedhigh---moderate---lowOne foot, eyes closed, head backhigh---moderate---lowAnswer these questions:Which stance made it the hardest to balance? Why do you think that is? How much of an impact does your inner ear have on your sense of balance? Activity 4: Taste and Smell (worth 15 points total)Your tongue has a variety of receptors capable of tasting different types of flavors. Pick four liquids to test for taste and a volunteer. Use the picture provided to "map out" your taste buds.
Obtain a few sterile swabs.Pipet a small amount of each solution into separate test tubes or cups but don't let your volunteer know what liquids you are using ahead of time.Using one solution at a time, dip a swab and run it along your volunteer's tongue.Record where your volunteer is able to taste each solution and what it tastes like.Now repeat the process again, this time have your volunteer plug his or her nose during the tasting.Label where on your tongue you tasted each of the following: SALTY BITTER SWEET SOURTasteTypes of LiquidTaste TypeLocation on the tongueTaste Type with nose pluggedLocation on the tongue with nose pluggedUse your lesson notes to explain the results for the taste sensations in each of the regions of your tongue?Can you explain why it may be more difficult to map taste with your nose plugged?
