Student posts, assignment #2

By tsmith on April 14, 2008.

My students are back with their second writing assignment, which I'll be posting for the next few days. As I mentioned previously, constructive comments on their posts are appreciated, but keep in mind that they're students doing this as an assignment and still learning--and comments that I feel are over the top (or attacking me via them) will be removed. Finally, these posts are the students' own; I'm formatting them for publication here, but beyond that their words (and opinions) are their own.

Please note that I produced the segment on bacteriophages for NPR's Science Friday. I have no relationship with Intralytix, nor have I written for the company or its website. I would appreciate your making the necessary corrections. (And I would prefer that this not be posted, if possible.)
Thank you,
