These are the criteria you should use to review the presentation. 
When writing & submitting your peer review – include the following information: 
The full name of the person whose presentation you are reviewing
Title of the presentation if given (like which system and which pathogens/infections are being presented)
Each of the “content” below that you are reviewing should be included in your typed review. 
Example: The topic/problem was written clearly = 4
You can give an explanation for your answer if you wish to do so, but          not required.  
If you can copy/paste and fill out the table below -that would be fine as well.  

There are very limited treatments for viral infections. Antibiotics are based on specific differences between the bacterial cell and the host cell and therefore are ineffective against viruses. Thus, vaccines may offer the best chance against viral infections by preventing infection in the first place. Normally, the development of a new vaccine can take over a year, and often over a decade, however development of the Covid-19 vaccine was part of a broader strategy (Operation Warp Speed) to accelerate development and manufacturing… such as using vaccine platforms developed for other diseases, large scale clinical trials, and simultaneous testing and manufacturing.
Address the following:
Describe how vaccines work to provide active immunity.
Briefly describe the stages of vaccine development from pre-clincal testing to clinical trials. No more than 1-2 sentences are necessary to describe each stage (don’t copy and paste huge chunks of information from websites, just briefly summarize the stages in your own words). Feel free to insert an image into your post for a visual.
The Covid-19 vaccine is an mRNA vaccine – what does this mean and how does it stimulate an immune response? (Again, don’t copy and paste paragraphs from websites and instead coherently and concisely summarize how the vaccine works to confer active immunity)
There are various types of vaccines – mRNA, live attenuated, inactivated/killed, subunit/conjugate, and toxoid –  pick one type and explain to your classmates what it is and provide an example of an infectious disease to which this type targets.
How to Cite your References: 
You must professionally cite and reference all sources of information. Include citations both in-text and include a full reference list. As this is a biology class, I prefer that the Council of Science Editors citation style (CSE) be used.

Describe why you are interested in the particular health topic that you are focusing on in your paper.  Give a short background on your health topic, being sure to identify:  what organ system(s) is involved; a general cause for the health condition (or the purpose for the technology); what you see as the importance of learning about this topic; the prognosis for someone with this condition (or the opportunity for using this technology). 
Detailed Information (50 pts – see breakdown below):
Word limit:  200 – 300 words
Common Signs and Symptoms (10)
List the most common symptoms
What does a person experience or feel who has this disease?

Causes (10)
Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention (10)
Prognosis (and Complications, if applicable) (10)
Can people die from this disease?
If so, do they usually die, sometimes die, or only rarely die?
Can the treatments completely get rid of the disease?
Or do they only manage the symptoms?
Are there any problems that occur from this disease that never go away? For example, are people sometimes crippled or brain-damaged, or is their immune system weakened?
Discussion (10 pts):
Word limit:  200 – 300 words
Share your opinions on what you learned about this condition.  What’s the take-home message you want to give your readers?

In your lab reports, you will be including a hypothesis in the introduction section. This hypothesis should be based on background research. Watch the short video about forming a hypothesis for a lab report, then complete the discussion board.
In this module, we will be looking at two labs: Biological Molecules and Cell Membrane Transport. Pick one of the experiments within these labs and write a hypothesis. Be sure to explain the reasoning behind your hypothesis!
Biological Macromolecules
Experimentation Summary
This section will guide you through competency-building exercises. You will be challenged with applying the knowledge you gained in the Exploration to complete the activities successfully.
Learning Objectives
Perform qualitative tests for lipids, sugars, proteins, and starch.
Analyze experimental results to determine the presence of sugars, starch, lipids, protein, and DNA in a variety of samples.
Identify an unknown through its composition of macromolecules.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Microbes are utilized in various industries for different purposes. Your assignment is to conduct research on 4 different microbes used in industry.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 1-2 pages, single-spaced description of the microbe and its use in industry
• 1-2 pages for pictures, charts, diagrams, etc.
• There must be 4 pages in total.
• 20 points total, 5 points for each microbe.

Differential tests allow you to differentiate between different types of organisms based on their metabolic abilities. Also called biochemical tests, these are often tests for the presence or absence of some enzymes or a by-product of an enzymatic reaction.

Discussion Board 3: Science in the News Share-out!
For this discussion board, you will be reading a brief article that describes some muscle
characteristics we have been learning about and…chimpanzees! You will then be sharing some
science news you find interesting with your classmates.
WHAT DO I NEED TO COMPLETE?
In this two-part discussion, you will begin by reading the brief article Chimps’ strength secrets
explained (Link opens in new window). You do NOT have to register to read it. You will then be
choosing your own article from Science Daily (link opens in new window) in their Health and
Medicine category. There is a long list of topics in the Health and Medicine category so choose
what is of interest to you and your future career. This reputable science news site breaks down
what is found in journal articles and provides the link to the original research. You will share
info from both articles as described below. These two articles must both be cited in your initial
post. You may always add more, but these 2 are required.
Part 1: Initial Post (Worth up to 50 points)
 Length: 250-500 words
Your initial discussion post will include 4 parts:
1. One point in the How Chimps’ strengths secrets explained article that you found the most
interesting AND why.
2. One question you have after reading the article: What else do you want to know from
researchers? What did they leave unanswered? This question should be specific and pertain to
the article.
3. A link to an article from Science Daily (link opens in new window)
4. A 2-3 sentence summary of that article you chose-what are the key points that your
classmates would find interesting?
Part 2: Responses (Worth up to 50 points)
Comment on at least 2 classmate’s discussion submissions.
In your response posts to your classmates, you will take a look at the link they shared. You will
then let them know a point you found interesting in that article and why. It may not be one
they shared in their summary. You may always tie the articles into what we are learning and
how it relates to your new knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
 Each comment must be 150-200 words!
o Evaluate their post
o Read the article they shared AND state an interesting point and why you found it
interesting. You may also add something about the article that you found the authors
did well and/or something they could have done better. (“Good Jobs”, or “I agree” are
NOT allowed as your response!!).
