Your Lab Signature Assignment is an oral report on a microbial disease. Create a three- to five-minute video response that includes the following:

  1. Select a disease that affects humans or animals whose causative agent is a bacterium, virus, fungus, protozoa, or other microorganism.
  2. Create and deliver a presentation on your chosen disease in which you report on each of the following in detail:
    • Causative Agent: Describe and classify the microbe involved. If known, explain how the microbe causes/transmits the disease or interferes with normal body function. Also, describe the vector and/or life cycle for the microbe (if applicable).
    • Population(s) affected: What population(s) is/are at highest risk of contracting the disease? Are there any groups of people who should be tested? Please include statistical/geographical data and trends (from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, or other source [http://www.cdc.gov, http://www.who.int, etc.]).
    • Course of Disease: What are the usual signs/symptoms of someone with the disease? How is the disease diagnosed? What is the usual time course for recovery? Are there complications and/or long-term effects?
    • Interventions: Describe possible treatments and/or medical interventions. Is there a vaccine available? How can the disease be best prevented or kept under control?

Videos can be recorded using any software or tool, but all videos are required to be uploaded to My Panopto Videos for assignment submission.

You can also use the Panopto Desktop Recording tool to create your video.

Health Discussion

/in /by

Directions:  Use the investigative skills that you developed using Ruggerio to find current examples of THREE of the Ruggerio types of manipulation in the popular press.

Use the graphic from All Generalizations are False to help you navigate the errors.
Use it for Analysis of your source for reliability and political bent.
http://www.allgeneralizationsarefalse.com/

You may use online sources, newspapers, or magazines for your sources. Your source selections MUST be listed on the All Generalizations are False grid.

Provide your rationale as to why you chose each example (why you think it fits the Ruggerio category) and provide a link for your sources.

LABEL YOUR SOURCE WITH THE guidelines on the All Generalizations are False site.

Your choices need not be health care related.
We will not be using our standard APA format this week. NO REFERENCE LIST IS REQUIRED.
Instead, cut and paste the grid from below, and fill in three sections, working offline. Then paste back into Discussion Boards. Sentence fragments are allowed in the grid. (For readability, please remove the segments you do not use.)

Include an actual headline or article fragment, and a link to where it is found.  You may use political headlines—they are the easiest ones in which to find bias!

I suggest you try to find some sources you read, that may even reflect your own bias so you can explore how you may be influenced.

We will not use our usual rubric for this forum. Instead you will be graded by how completely you provide the information.

NO response posts required this week. BUT, take time to look at the posts of your classmates to get a wider look how bias creeps into the media.

PICK JUST THREE of the boxes to fill in.

Here is an example of using the grid:

1. Biased Headline

Example (include link):

In Lieu Of Flowers, Republicans Could Honor Justice Scalia By Replacing Him

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/republicans-could-honor-justice-scalia-by-replacing-him_us_56c7bb13e4b041136f171dcd

Rationale (using Ruggerio):

: Bias is shown by belittling other side of issue. Uses flippant language and sarcasm for humor. Is editorial in tone, not unbiased news. I chose this example as one that shows how political issues bring one sided analysis in the news.
Source analysis: Huffington Post is on the grid at Hyper-Partisan Left, partially straddling the Skews Left line. It is straddling the Facts line of Analysis and Opinion; Fair Persuasion. It straddles the Yellow and Orange boxes of Fair interpretations of the news and Extreme/Unfair interpretations of the news.

CUT AND PASTE GRID BELOW, choosing three sections to fill out

1. Biased Headline

Example (include link):

Rationale (using Ruggerio):

2. Biased “Lead”

Example (include link):

BIOL 1406 Lab Reports, Lab Notebook Guidelines

 

Students must have a lab text book and a lab notebook to record notes and daily lab activities. A three ring binder is recommended to keep notes and materials together and organized. Your lab instructor will give more information about this.

 

Every entry in your notebook should include a statement of purpose that includes terminology, test method, experiment data, observations and conclusions (what you learned) from each activity in the exercises. Conclusions should address each of the questions or objectives listed in the purpose for the activity.

 

Your instructor will identify the activities to be covered for each exercise. It is available online at the eCampus community “NLC-BIOLOGY-LAB”.

The NLC Academics Skills Center and NLC Writing Lab (L240) is also available to assist with writing lab reports. Remember, The NLC Science Learning Center (P333) for learning resources and tutoring!

 

Three Formal Lab Reports (25 points each) on the following topics :

LR 1 – Lab 3: Carbon Chemistry- Exercise 3.2, Known and Unknown Testing

LR 2 – Lab 7: Enzymes- Exercise 7.3 A or B, Effect of Temperature or pH

LR 3 – Lab 9: Photosynthesis- Exercise 9.2, Necessity of Light

 

Each lab report will (must) consist of the following components for each activity:

Exercise # and Title of experiment

 

Introduction

 

Purpose

Identify the exercise objectives / questions to be answered by the activity and define any necessary terms. Include your hypothesis in this section.

 

Hypothesis

Should be worded as an “…if…….then….” statement based on the question your experiment was designed to answer. It should be easy to prove wrong. (Ex: “I expect that if yeast is given sugar, then more carbon dioxide will be produced.”)

 

Materials & Methods

Materials

What did you use to conduct the experiment? Include equipment, glassware, reagents etc. used.

Test Method

How is the experiment done?

Describe in detail how you set up the activity.

DO NOT COPY FROM THE LAB MANUAL.

 

Procedure / steps

Step by step instructions should be included in the Materials and Methods section.

 

Results

Observations

What happened during the exercise?

Data collected in neat table format.

Any graphs or photos of experimental results should be included here.

What were the results, what did you see?

Discuss your observations.

 

Discussion

 

Conclusion(s)

How do the observations answer the questions and objectives that have been identified in the purpose? Include a direct answer to your hypothesis. What was learned as a result of the lab exercise?

 

Errors / Suggestions

If your results are unexpected, identify any possible sources of errors and your suggestions to avoid errors and/or improve the experiment.

 

References

 

Any references used should be cited appropriately.

 

Exercises are to be completed accurately at the time specified by the instructor. Any points deducted will be determined by the instructor and the grading rubric. Absolutely no plagiarism will be tolerated . Everything must be in your original words, not copied from the book or another student. Reports should be written independently despite being conducted in a group. Any plagiarism will result in a Zero.
