This order is two assignments in one. The annotated websites have to be done on their own. However, these websites must be used in the critique of Kuhn‘s theories.
Detailed Instructions:
Assignment 1. Find five Web sites that discuss Kuhn’s concept of the paradigm. At least ONE of the sites should be critical of the concept. Submit an annotated bibliography of 100-150 words describing the content of each of these five sites. Evaluate the ideas, and explain why you think it is useful. Also provide some background about the site. What is the title of the site? Who is the author (if you can determine it)? What is their objective? Is it an academic site? Is it credible? Is it one person’s opinion?
Assignment 2. Write a critique of Kuhn. Include in your critique:
1. Comments from Web sites;
2. A discussion of Kuhn’s evidence for the paradigm concept;
3. The effect Kuhn’s paradigm concept has on our perception that scientific discovery represents progress in our understanding of the universe.
The critique should be six to nine pages in length, typed, and double-spaced.
There should be a total of 12 sources, one being the book and the rest websites. I will email them. Please, please, please cite the work within the text. I also need a reference list.
There are faxes for this order.
