The profile should include   ·         Microbe identity –Genus and species, gram (+) or (-), growth patterns, etc. ·         Microbe location – Geographical specifics (ex. Malaria is found in warm, wet regions near the equator), common places in environments (ex. Helicobacter pylori is found in the stomach) ·         Pathogen mechanisms – Is this a pathogen? How? ·         Medical treatment – How do we fight this pathogen? ·         Anything else interesting? History? How can we study it? Does it grow on certain differential media? How would you stain it? Report ·         2000 words (single space size 12 times new roman font) report profiling your microbe. Word count does not include a bibliography.

In-text references should be a superscript number (1) with references numbered in the order in which they appear (2). Some statements may be referenced in more than one source (1,2). Anything not ‘common knowledge’ should be cited. For this course, you may consider anything we have discussed in class to be common knowledge. Scientific sources can be found on PubMed or Google Scholar.

Partial coverage with at least some sections very light on detail or missing. Large gaps or extremely light detail with respect to the microbes. Formatting (20%)   Score weight: 1x The report is free of spelling and grammatical mistakes. The report is size 12 times new roman font. Minor grammar or spelling mistakes may be present. Major grammatical or spelling errors that obscure the meaning of key portions of the report which are exceedingly difficult for the audience to comprehend. Citations (20%)   Score weight: 1x A minimum of 5 scientific citations are included for the report. Citations are included but maybe too few or from non-scientific sources. Citations are absent or from non-scientific sources.   Example – Kim showed Advanced skills in her report but received developing scores for her formatting. She, unfortunately, forgot to include her references and received an emerging score. Report Content                            5 x 3 = 15 Formatting                                 3 x 1 = 3 Citations                                    1 x 1 = 1 Total – 15+3+1 = 19/25 = 76%
