Please provide a personal reaction to this unit. What did you find interesting or new? Did any of the material conflict with your own belief system? If you went to high school in another country, was this part of the curriculum? If you went to high school in the U.S., to what extend was evolution taught? Please be extra sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of other students.
