Note: These questions are here to turn away from the details of this rotation and toward how the lessons and strategies you’ve learned might apply in a variety of real-world situations. The focus is not to add to your writing workload as much as to give you an opportunity for some thoughtful reflection so as to incorporate any thoughts these exercises may have raised for you before you move to another task.

Provide a thoughtful response (about half a page) to the following questions:

• How did the information you had read regarding people’s views on biotechnology and genetic modification compare to your experience hearing people’s views expressed during the focus group? How might knowing these similarities and differences affect your interpretation of written descriptions of views in the future? Provide specific examples to illustrate your response.
