Students describe the scientific developments that led to the modern view of the solar system, and identify the main contributions of Copernicus, Tycho, Galileo, and Kepler.
In their four- to five-page papers, students are expected to combine their own thoughtful analysis of the topic with information found in a minimum of three scholarly sources other than a textbook. Students need to keep in mind that this is to be an analytical paper, not simply a summary of their reading. Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy, even if the oversight is unintentional.
