List and describe factors employed by the organism to assist in its growth, reproduction, culture conditions, host/pathogen interactions and/or virulence. (e.g. nitrogen fixation, symbiotic interactions etc.) Categorize virulence factors by mechanisms of action (Immunity Avoidance, Tissue/Cell Lysis, Colonization/Spread)

(e.g. nitrogen fixation, symbiotic interactions etc.) Categorize virulence factors by mechanisms of action (Immunity Avoidance, Tissue/Cell Lysis, Colonization/Spread)

Discussion of treatment/prevention options for the disease(s) caused by the organism (Antibiotics or other chemotherapeutics given as part of treatment and their mechanisms of action, Vaccines available and type)

What is the purpose of the source article, and how is it relevant to your Course Project’s required topics and subtopics.

Annotated Bibliography

What is the purpose of the source article, and how is it relevant to your Course Project’s required topics and subtopics.

Briefly address the following points in 4-6 sentences:

Begin with a “topic sentence” that states the source’s main point. (e.g., This article discusses the ecology of the white-tailed deer in Delaware.).

Summarize the main findings and conclusions of the peer-reviewed journal paper, book, website article, etc.

State how the information is relevant to your project’s assigned topics and subtopics.
Evaluation:
After summarizing the source article, it is necessary to evaluate it and state where you found it (journal, website, book, etc.). Briefly answer the following questions in 4-6 sentences:

What is the format/type of source article (e.g., peer-reviewed journal paper, book, website article)?

Is the author an authority/expert on the topic? Explain how the author is qualified (see below).

Why did he decide to change professions? Did cancer research benefit from Farber changing careers?

Emperor of All Maladies

Sidney Farber was the chief pathologist at Boston’s Children’s Hospital in the 1940s. He decided to change his profession and became a cancer researcher after nearly 20 years as a pathologist. Why did he decide to change professions? Did cancer research benefit from Farber changing careers?

 Evaluate the source by explaining why it is or is not an academically and scientifically credible source of information.

Week 2 Discussion Q

Evaluate the source by explaining why it is or is not an academically and scientifically credible source of information.

A. Provide a minimum of three pieces of evidence to support your thoughts and state if they are green or red flag examples.

Some evidence to consider are the credibility of the author as a subject matter expert, the quality of the reference sources included in the article or lack thereof, the credibility of the publisher or website, etc. Review the Source Evaluation Cheat Sheet.

Green-Flag evidence example:

Author is a subject-matter expert (e.g., “Dr. Mary Smith holds a Ph.D. in zoology.”)
Red-Flag evidence example:

Author is not a subject-matter expert and does not provide academically and scientifically credible reference sources. (e.g., “John Jones is a freelance writer with a journalism degree and did not include any credible reference sources.”)
B. Based on the evidence you have provided, state if you feel this source is an overall credible source.

Provide a reference for your source in APA reference format (version 6 or 7).
