4. Weekly Reports ä I would like each of the teams to resubmit their weekly report that was due last Monday by email so I can post the reports at the website. ä For next week's project report (due on Feb. 19) I will ask one of you (a volunteer) to write (and email) a brief report that summarizes tonight’s meeting. ä For subsequent weeks each project team (there will likely be several project teams) will submit a report by email that I will post on the website. ä I would like each of the teams to resubmit their weekly report that was due last Monday by email so I can post the reports at the website. ä For next week's project report (due on Feb. 19) I will ask one of you (a volunteer) to write (and email) a brief report that summarizes tonight’s meeting. ä For subsequent weeks each project team (there will likely be several project teams) will submit a report by email that I will post on the website.

5. Student Presentations

6. My Reflections ä Plot discussion intensity as a function of “soft” to “hard” science ä Which presentations included critique of the source ä Myth of “hard” numbers ä Plot discussion intensity as a function of “soft” to “hard” science ä Which presentations included critique of the source ä Myth of “hard” numbers

7. Read Science and Engineering Literature Critically ä Where and how was the data obtained? ä Are the conclusions justified? ä Is generalization to broader application justified? ä Do other sources confirm the conclusions? ä Where and how was the data obtained? ä Are the conclusions justified? ä Is generalization to broader application justified? ä Do other sources confirm the conclusions?

8. Slow Sand Filtration Literature ä Hypothesis stated as theories ä Often repeated, seldom verified ä Treated as if it is common knowledge without supporting research data ä Data incorrectly interpreted (example) ä Filter performance improves with time, organic matter in the filter increases with time, therefore filters are biological ä Adding chlorine makes the filter not work as well therefore filters are biological ä Hypothesis stated as theories ä Often repeated, seldom verified ä Treated as if it is common knowledge without supporting research data ä Data incorrectly interpreted (example) ä Filter performance improves with time, organic matter in the filter increases with time, therefore filters are biological ä Adding chlorine makes the filter not work as well therefore filters are biological
