2. Vision and Change Core Concepts and 2024 ASM Fundamental Statements

  • This section includes the Vision and Change categories, as well as the ASM Fundamental Statements that the students chose as represented in the snippet and main paper discussion.

3.  Potential Learning Objectives for the Podcast

  • This section includes potential lower and higher Bloom’s taxonomy learning objectives that are represented in the snippet and main paper discussion. The podcast questions are matched to these learning objectives. The learning objectives include things in the podcast and do not assume that the students have read and understood the related papers.  The format is ” The student will be able to: “

4. Techniques Described (with Time Stamps)

4.1. Snippet Paper

  • This section includes techniques from the snippet discussion that were identified by students with at least the start time, a brief description, and often how the technique was used in the study.

4.2. Main Paper

  • This section includes techniques from the main discussion that were identified by students with at least the start time, a brief description, and often how the technique was used in the study.

5. Connections to General Microbiology Processes/Concepts (with Time Stamps)

5.1. Snippet Paper

  • This section includes microbiology course concepts from the snippet discussion that were identified by students with at least the start time and a description of the concept or related results in the study.  Students were given a list of microbiology course concepts to choose from, but many use their own descriptors.

5.2. Main Paper

  • This section includes microbiology course concepts from the main discussion that were identified by students with at least the start time and a description of the concept or related results in the study.  Students were given a list of microbiology course concepts to choose from, but many use their own descriptors.

6. Podcast Questions

  • This section includes at least 4 questions matched to both the potential lower and higher Bloom’s taxonomy learning objectives for both the snippet and main discussion. The questions include things in the podcast and do not assume that the students have read and understood the related papers.

7. Figure Reading Exercises

Figure numbers for the figure reading exercises are identified here.

7.1. First Figure Reading Exercise

7.1.1. Learning Objectives

  • This section includes potential lower and higher Bloom’s taxonomy learning objectives that are represented in the figure reading exercise. The questions are matched to these learning objectives. The learning objectives include things in the experimental background and figure, so they can be used a “stand alone” exercises.  They do not assume that the students have read and understood the rest of the paper.  The format is ” The student will be able to: .”
Experimental Background (figure and source are identified here)
  • The background includes sentences that will draw the reader into the bigger project, sentences that guide the reader to the focused topic, sentences that frame the question the investigators are doing the experiment about, and sentences that introduce the experiment, assay, and any acronyms.  THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY INTERPRETATION.
  • The figure is presented here with its figure legend if it is Creative Commons licensed.  If it is not licensed, there will be a statement about that.
7.1.2. Questions
  • This section includes at least 4 questions matched to both the potential lower and higher Bloom’s taxonomy learning objectives for the figure reading exercise. The learning objectives include things in the experimental background and figure, so they can be used a “stand alone” exercises. They do not assume that the students have read and understood the rest of the paper.  Answers are in a password protected file that you can request access to here: Request Access to Answers
