Q General Guidance: You should read through this week's assigned lab and/or Peerceptiv material before you make your post, so that your post will be informed, and you avoid posing a question that is answered in the course materials. General Format: You are required to make ONE post to each week’s lab discussion board. Your required post must contain 50 words at minimum and be written in your own words. Your grade will be determined by your demonstration of three areas of communication: application, critical thinking, and writing. Deadline: Your required post is due by 11:59PM, Wednesday. Late posts will be penalized 0.5 points (20%) per day late. NOTE: We recommend that you avoid using the smartphone/tablet Canvas app when submitting your discussion post, because the app frequently fails to associate posts with your corresponding discussion group. ________________________________________ This Week's Posting Prompt: Complete the readings assigned for the Week 2 lab assignment, and address at least ONE of the following: 1. In E-campus classes there are some "hands-on" types of experiences that are challenging to re-create in a virtual environment. One of these such experiences is using a compound microscope. Many of you, if you continue in the life sciences, will need to use a real microscope at some point. With this in mind, we developed a virtual microscope with OSU E-campus for this class (Week 2 Lab Part 1). What are some of your microscopy questions? What are some things that you would like to know more about before you are asked to examine slides at your future job? 2. Part of this week's lab activity will involve searching the scientific literature for information that will help you develop hypotheses and predictions for the lab experiments that we start in week 3. What are some things that you would like to know more about regarding the scientific literature?
