I had some misconceptions coming into the semester, but those cleared up right away when we got started on the material! When evaluating how my perceptions of the processes of science have changed, I saw a few changes. I felt confident on the processes of science coming into the class, so the things I have learned just helped reinforce those ideas. I feel like I have truly learned the molecular basis of the process of evolution. We have discovered how alleles affect mutation and evolution rates and I think that is truly fascinating. Beyond the end of the semester, I am taking away the ability to critically analyze and think about concepts in a new light. This class has presented material differently than other science classes and I think this has enhanced my ability to answer the hard questions, which will be i...
