Essay Instructions: 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.

Find five Web sites that discuss Kuhn’s concept of the paradigm. At least ONE of the sites should be critical of the concept. All web sites should be found by you and should not be those already listed on the course syllabus.

Web sites should supplement or directly relate to the unit in question. Avoid unreliable sites like wikipedia.com( which is not acceptable for it is a "pop site).

You should give full web site citations not just a short cut. DO NOT SEND WEB SITES WITHOUT THE ANNOTATIONS.

You must provide annotations for each new web site and they should be 6 to 8 sentences long (not just a sentence or two). They must summarize the contents of the site, your reaction to it (useful or non-useful, reliable or not reliable) and your evaluation of its relationship to the course content you learn in readings. 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?
