The results will be submitted in the form of a journal article to be written individually according to the instructions for authors for American Society for Microbiology journals. There will also be an oral presentation to the class using PowerPoint or a poster. Your point total in this area will also be determined by your level of participation as judged by yourself and your partners. The laboratory instructor will determine the distribution of these points. This will include attendance, group participation and general laboratory care and demeanor.

You will be allowed one unexcused absence and two excused absences. Excused absences require either prior instructor approval or written documentation that must be submitted by the next lab period. Punctuality is also mandatory. Students who arrive late will not be permitted to take quizzes or exams and any assignment due that day will be considered late. Students arriving late will be given two warnings.
