Mycobacteriosis Infecting Ring Neck Doves Thesis Paper

I need support with this Biology question so I can learn better.

 

This is an individual assignment. Students should be careful not to plagiarize any scientific literature or other student’s work

The summary should address the following questions:

  • What is the hypothesis (or hypotheses) for this paper?
  • Why was the experiment performed?
  • What are the important result highlights?
  • Why do the results matter?
  • How is this related to any topics covered in labs so far?
  • What is an interesting biological fact you learned from this paper?

Criteria Ratings Pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeObservation Made By Researcher(s)The summary should first include and briefly explain key observations made by the researchers. This will also include the problem the researcher is trying to solve. This is a good place to explain the research hypothesis or hypotheses. Most of this information is usually found in the Introduction section.
10.0 ptsExceeds Expectations

The summary clearly explains the problem being solved by the researcher. The summary also includes the hypothesis or hypotheses proposed.

5.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

The summary attempts to explain the problem but may not have sufficient detail. The hypothesis may be missing.

0.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

The problem being addressed by the researchers is not explained or addressed at all in the summary. The hypothesis might also be missing.

10.0pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeMethods Made By Researcher(s)Next the summary should briefly explain the key methods used and how they address testing the hypothesis. You should explain if how the methods might be similar to what is being discussed in your class. Most of this information is usually found in the Methods section.
10.0 ptsExceeds Expectations

The summary briefly explains the methods being used and how they address testing the hypothesis.

5.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

The summary attempts to explain methods but may fail to explain how they are used to address the problem and hypothesis being tested. Connection to methods learned in this lab may be missing.

0.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

The methods are not included in the summary. There is no connection to the hypothesis or the methods learned in lab class.

10.0pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDiscussion of ResultsLastly, the summary should briefly explain the key findings and why they are important. Did the results support the initial hypothesis or hypotheses?
How do the results contribute to the overall field of Microbiology?
10.0 ptsExceeds Expectations

The summary briefly explains key results. The summary also discusses how these results support or reject the proposed hypothesis or hypotheses. The summary includes how the findings contribute to the field of microbiology.

5.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

The summary attempts to discuss key findings but may not connect them with the original hypotheses proposed by the researchers. Or the summary does not explain how the results/findings contribute to the microbiology field.

0.0 ptsNeeds Improvement

No key findings or how they support/reject any hypotheses are included. The summary does not include the contributions to the field of microbiology.

10.0pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeNew Information ObtainedLastly, you should include one new fact that you learned about the field of microbiology from the research article.

Total Points: 40.0

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

1. You need a descriptive title (not just Journal Assignment #1 Summary).

2. Make sure you cover the main components: observations (with hypothesis), methods, discuss results, new info, references.
3. Do not use quotations, rather paraphrase then cite using an in-text citation (e.g. Smith et al. 2015, or Jones 2018).
4. Do not use first person (you, me, I, we, they, etc.), even in the new information obtained section. For example, instead of saying “An interesting fact I learned is that microbes are ubiquitous.”, you can say “It is an interesting fact that microbes are ubiquitous.”
5. Follow formatting guidelines: 1-2 pages, double-spaced, 12 pt font.
6. Make sure you have a references section with the article(s) properly cited in CSE format. Otherwise, this is plagiarism and will result in a 0 and reported to the Office of Student Conduct. Same goes for the in-text citations.
