Intro to Chaos and Fractals: Short Papers

The first paper will be due January 24.

Here are some guidelines for the short papers.

• They should be around 2 pages in length.
• They should be in the style of a well-developed journal entry. You do not need to come to any grand conclusion. It's fine to raise more questions than you answer.
• The audience you should probably have in mind while writing is: you, me, and the rest of the people in the class.
• I recommend writing in the first person.
• I'm looking for evidence of critical thought, not a summary of the reading.
• Your paper should be typed or word-processed.
• Explore one or at most two ideas.
• Write about something that interest you.
• Your writing should be clear; use "correct" usage. Grammar and overall clarity will be part of your evaluation. The writing can be quite informal, but should still read ok.
• Please hand in your papers on time. If papers are late, I'll mention this on your narrative evaluation. If you need extra time, let me know.
