With permission from course instructor Mike Blower I am posting my midterm and final papers from Harvard’s BBS 230: Analysis of the Biological Literature. I figured these might be useful to future students wanting an example of what a midterm/final for this class looks like.

  • Midterm paper. For the midterm we were asked to write a ten-page reaction to [Foltz 2009].
  • Final paper. For the final we were asked to write a ten-page reaction to [Baker 2011]. The paper I’ve posted is the Track Changed version with the comments I received from Dr. Blower.
