If this is a GenEd class, include the appropriate GenEd objectives. In the boxes below, summarize the methods used to assess course outcomes during the last year. Include the criterion youll use to judge whether or not students have achieved the expected outcome.In the boxes below, summarize the results of your assessment activities during the last year. Include your judgement as to whether or not the criterion for student achievement has been met.In the boxes below, summarize how you plan to use the results to improve student learning.Outcome #1: Functional Anatomy of Cells Describe the cellular structure of prokaryotic cells and cell walls. Apply this information to disease processes.Assessment Measure: Lecture exam, laboratory quizzes. Lab report on stains and staining techniques Criterion for achievement: 60% students scoring grade A & BExam 1 Total score 100 Average score 85% High 95% Low- 67% SD- 7.69 Average time 1:22:36 / 82 minutes Total time allotted - 120 minutes Students scored well on this outcome. At the beginning of the semester, I had asked them to draw the detailed structure cell wall of positive and negative gram bacteria and eukaryotic cell in their lab notebook. Drawing in color pencils helped the students to retain the information of the cell walls till the end of the semester. On this basis I was able to explain them in detail the working of antibiotics and drug resistance in bacteria. Writing lab report on staining techniques helped in their understanding of the basic principle of Bacterias classification into gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Lab report made it clear as to why steaming of bacteria slides during the lab practical for gram and endospore staining is important. It also help them understand the importance of chemistry of stains and their overall role in staining. Overall a good exercise and would like to continue further with no change. Outcome #2: Aseptic Technique and Culture of Microorganisms Proficiency in aseptic technique Assessment Measure: Lab experiences and Unknown Report success and quality with subjective evaluation by instructor. Criterion for achievement: 60% students scoring grade A & BExam -2 was paper based (difficult to get quiz statistics) Exam 3 Total score 60 Average score 73% High 88% Low- 48% SD- 6.29 Average time 46.39/60 minutes Technical evaluations 10 points- evaluated during final lab exam. Students did well on technical evaluations at the end of the semester making it clear that they understand the importance of aseptic techniques. Students practiced identification of unknow multiple times and learnt how to draw the flow charts. Identification of unknow helps in using all the skill set in the aseptic transfer techniques, staining , biochemical and enzymatic test learnt in the regular labs throughout the semester. Exam2 & 3 results demonstrates successful delivery of outcome #2. (note the overall average is brought by one non attending student who got zero score on all the exam)Outcome # 3 - Microbial Growth and Control Thereof. Describe requirements for microbial growth and apply these concepts to strategies for controlling microbial growth in medically relevant situations.Assessment Measure: Lecture exam, laboratory quizzes. together with Handwashing Experiment report. Disease report - 25 Points- You will write the report on a pathogenic microorganism. It should be 2-3 pages, 1 margin, justified alignment, single spaced, Times New Roman font 12. Your paper will need to include the following: Name of pathogen Type of pathogen & physical description of the pathogen Evolutionary location on a phylogenetic tree (how this organism is related to others) Special structures for pathogenicity (endospores, flagella, pili, etc) Name of disease/infection(s) (for example, Zika virus causes Zika Virus Disease) If your pathogen causes multiple disease/infections(s), you will want to pick one disease for the following (if your pathogen only causes one disease, that is the one you will use): Signs & Symptoms History Incidence Mode of Transmission Incubation period Period of communicability Method of control Specific treatment Your information will need to come from scholarly sources, which include textbooks, journal articles, and websites with .edu and .gov.. If you are very unfamiliar with your topic, you can always use something like Wikipedia to get familiar with your disease, but then move to the scholarly sources. Criterion for achievement: 60% students scoring grade A & B Quizzes Disease report -25 points.In place of lab quizzes, I have introduced disease report and I plan to continue using the same for next semester too but with guidelines as to what constitutes plagiarism. Disease report helped in translating theoretical knowledge they studied in the class to real world diseases. I have introduced rubric this time which helped them in writing of the disease report. Outcome # 4 - Microbial Diversity with medically relevant examples. Describe the diversity and medical relevance of microorganisms.Assessment Measure: Lecture exam, laboratory quizzes together with lab exercises and discussion. Book review -25 Points Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen. The review must be typed, single spaced, 12-point font size, times new roman,1 margins and 2-3 pages. The guidelines for the book review is listed below. Indication of the title. Summary - write the review as if the reader has never read the book before. Your main goal is to analyze the plot and not just to share your likes/dislikes. Introduction Overall impression of the book, a statement on the purpose of the book Body of your review Greater detail on the authors work, evaluation of the strength and weakness, offer your CRITIQUE, Relevance of the topic, analyze the book based on its significance to the audience. Conclusion your final assessment 2. Please write an essay just based on the two article posted above , " Technology behind COVID vaccine". Please try to relate to what you have studied in the class to this vaccine technology, why is this different and how it is going to change on how we tackle the infections hence forth? You can use your lab time to write it. 3 hours is enough time to complete this assignment. Please don't copy and paste anything from these articles in your essay. If you want you can refer to other scientific articles from reputed scientific journals only. No personal opinions. Criterion for achievement: 60% students scoring grade A & B Exam -4 100 points High score 100 % Low score 62% S.D 4.9 Average time 22.46/40 minutes Book review -25 points Average score 100 % Essay Technology for COVID Vaccine Extra credit 15 points For Discussion I introduced book review of spillover which was relevant to the current pandemic. I plan to continue using this book so that student understand the outbreak of various diseases and how scientist and expertise from all over the world are pooled together to contain an epidemic or pandemic and this book also bring out the importance of tracing the outbreak and zoonosis of the diseases. During class discussion I realized that there were few students who believed in fake and conspiracy theories over the scientific basis of COVID disease and did not trust the science behind the modern technology used in COVID Vaccine. To overcome it I assigned them to write an essay based on the scientific article from peer reviewed (Nature), highly rated journal and news channel (PBS) along with video on vaccine production to overcome the fake and conspiracy news. Hopefully, they have learnt to go to proper resources to check all the facts rather than relying on all the forwarded fake news. TOTAL- 19 student Grades 10 student A grade 8 student - B Grade 0 student C grade 0 student- D grade 1 student- F grade (never attended- attendance is 0%) Criteria met - YES Overall, I am pleased with the set up for 251 and plan to continue with the same set up for the next semester. All the efforts I put in last semester to revamp BIO251 is paying off now All the students received either A or B grade in the class and I am extremely pleased with the performance of the students and this BIO 251 class will go as one of the most successful class in the recent year.
