Research Project One of the most difficult concepts for students to grasp is how the process of evolution actually unfolds. Abstract ideas about “the survival of the fittest” or “selection for a trait” rarely serve to provide students with an adequate understanding of the evolutionary process, so I ask students in my Evolution course to formulate their own questions about how evolution works and then test their answers using an evolutionary simulator. The guidelines for this assignment can be found here. Below are some of the best student Research Projectsthat I have received, downloadable as PDF’s:
