Name: Writing Assignment: Numerical Data Analysis
ID: m16184
Language: English (en)
Summary: In this assignment from a writing course for upper-level bioscience majors at Rice University, students produce figures and accompanying explanatory text from a set of numerical data. The figures are designed for two distinct audiences, one inside the discipline and one from outside the discipline. Students are already familiar with the disease (Rett Syndrome) and molecule (MeCP2) described in the assignment through lectures and discussions in class.
