You are to write a paper on a microbe of your choosing and verify it with your instructor. The microbe should be pathogenic, and on that was discussed in class.  This microbe could be a bacteria, protozoa, helminth or even a virus. Please choose a microbe THAT INTERESTS YOU !! and discuss it with your lab instructor

 

Guidelines and helpful hints for writing your assignment:

• When you write your paper, you should write as if you’re explaining your topic to someone who knows NOTHING about microbiology. Accordingly, when you use technical terms, you also need to explain exactly what they mean. I highly recommend asking someone else to read your paper!
• You need to reference 2 peer-reviewed papers AND 2 general sources for your paper. You may use MORE than 2 peer-reviewed journal articles or more than 2 general sources if you choose. Just include them in your reference list, and with your hard-copy materials.
• Remember that quoting from your references is not allowed for this assignment. If you chose to ignore this rule, 3 points will be deducted from your grade for every quote.
• Plagiarism of ANY sort will result in a zero for the assignment. I highly recommend that you CAREFULLY reread the plagiarism pamphlet at this time, to make sure you have not plagiarized in your paper.
• Remember that in addition to finding the resources, you must also USE them to write your paper. Please use footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical documentation to indicate which information from your paper corresponds to which reference. If you choose not to, 10 points will automatically be deducted from your score.
• The length of the paper is to me no more than Two (2) full double-spaced pages for THE BODY OF THE TEXT, This not including references or any title page
