- Your team will share your research from your logs and REFINE and collaborate to co-construct the first part of the actual report. The order of the questions in the log will guide you through the structure of the report, although your team may decide on a different approach. The final information should be reworked so that it is not directly copied from sources and can be read and understood by all. All information should be cited, and include a reference list. In APA seven style.
NOTE: When writing the scientific names for microorganism for the first time, the full name goes in italics and is underlined e.g. Escherichia coli
Only the first name is capitalised.
When the name is used more than once, it can be shortened to just the first initial capitalised followed by a full stop, and the whole of the second name. e.g. E. coli
- Once you have collaborated on the background information you need to relate this to the specific purpose of the study, by writing a paragraph such as this at the end: “The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of hand hygiene, in particular by comparing washing hands with soap and water, and using hand sanitising gels”.
- As a team, you need to follow this up by justifying the importance of this research.
- Finally, predict your findings, by writing hypotheses as statements. E.g. The plates inoculated with hands …… will show …..
