You should prepare 2 presentations:
  • one based on text with some short videos and photos;
  • the second one should be a video, e.g. a TED presentation with your introduction and questions to discuss.

You  moderate  your presentations (ask questions, comment on your friends’ opinions). Your moderation will be evaluated.

Moreover, each week you read/watch and comment on/ discuss your colleagues’ presentations.
Send me your presentations at least a week before the date of their publication. 
Your presentation should:
  1. consist of text (ca.400 words).
  2. include photos, videos (only in English).
  3. be interesting to read, watch and comment on. If I do not like the topic, I can ask you to prepare a new presentation.
  4. be submitted in the Word file or the Google docs (no PDF files).
  5. include the sources used.
  6. not offend anyone’s beliefs.
Ignorance of the rules will result in the course failure.
Attention!
I will not evaluate any presentation sent to me after the deadline.  
I will not accept any excuses.
I will not accept plagiarism

What constitutes plagiarism?

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By
Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open.

Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Is Scientific Community Accepting of New Ideas?

By

But is it so? There are many cases of scientists who were disgraced and persecuted by the scientific community simply because their findings challenged the already existing beliefs. Humberto Maturana and Lynn Margulis Humberto Maturana is a prominent biologist who studied the examples of symbiosis between organisms: fungi that control the ants (there are farming ants that grow fungi for food) or the parasites that hijack the brains of snails. https://www.une.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0005/24791/leucochloridium-paradoxum.jpg Maturana wondered how is it possible that a symbiosis so complex as the one between a worm and a snail could ever take place? I t occurred it is actually a more general argument about the evolution. What comes first: the design or the applic...
