by Carl Sagan, 1996
A Book Report Submitted by John Doe, spring 2008
for BIOL 1010
The deadline for submitting the report is before your last lecture day. Use your own words when you write this report; I will overlook a few misspelled words (spell check should help you with the spelling), and your grammar doesn't have to be perfect, but try to use your best English. You should summarize some of the main points in the book, and in the last paragraph tell me what you liked about the book, if anything, and what you didn't like, if anything. Save it as a file on your computer, then attach that file to an e-mail to me before the deadline.
Demon Haunted World is about Science and the importance of thinking scientifically. It is a great mind-expanding books. You will need to show me the receipt for the book to get the 6 extra points.
