This assignment will look at the ethics of include dissection as a component in biology courses. If you'd like more help as you're doing research for this project, contact your librarian for the School of the Sciences:
To start, read the article Should Classroom Animal Dissection Be Mandatory? from the Issues & Controversies database. Issues & Controversies is helpful for questions like this because it presents non-scholarly research on both sides of many current and controversial topics.
The Issues & Controversies lists some of the arguments around animal dissection, which can be a good jumping-off point for your own search. However, these are not the only arguments on the topic. If you have a different reason for being for or against it, you are welcome to look for articles in support of your viewpoint.
Once you've read the Issues & Controversies article and discussed it in class, you're ready to move on to finding your own sources on the topic of animal dissection.
