Review the plan

  • Each chosen example directly addresses the title and its theme.
  • I explain mechanisms with specific structures, substances and locations.
  • I show the biological consequence rather than adding a vague statement of importance.
  • Connections between topics are justified; examples are not forced into an unrelated link.
  • I checked terminology and possible errors using my course resources.
