BIO- FP 1000 Assessment One: Selected Article Review

BIO- FP 1000 Assessment One  Selected Article Review

The media (newspapers, magazine articles, television news
programs, and Web-based information sources) provide us with much of what we
know about human biology. After taking a course on human biology, you might be
interested in taking advantage of these resources for additional learning.
Journal articles on a special topic are particularly informative, because they
often go into depth and are a good source of current information, which you can
use to continue learning or reviewing biology as a lifelong practice. Journal
articles are a good source of information about current advances in a
particular area of human biology, and they also highlight possible future
advances in the treatment of certain conditions.

Select a journal article on the subject of supplements and
write a summary paper reviewing the article. You are encouraged, but not

linked in the Resources, under the Library Resources heading, for this article
review. Note: If you choose to review an article other than the “Athletics

order to fully address all of the topics required for this paper.
