3.Do a research on Hepatitis B and the organism that causes it. Find the following information:
The name of the pathogenic organism and what it is (bacterium, virus, fungus, protozoan, or helminth)
How the organism can be cultured and isolated (if your organism is a bacterium), the structure and life cycle of the pathogen (if your organism is a virus, fungus, protozoa, or helminth)
How it is acquired (where it is found, how it is transmitted)
Mechanism by which the organism causes disease
Signs and symptoms of the disease (what the patient exhibits or experiences)
Diagnosis of the disease (how does the doctor determine what disease it is)
Treatment of the disease
Prevention
Prepare a written annotated bibliography of the references you used in your research. See information on our online resources for specifics about format. Your annotated bibliography should include at the minimum 3 sources, each with the following:
Properly formatted citation
Description about what information you used from the source
Discussion about why the source is a trusted, reputable source
See below for more information on the Annotated Bibliography,
Annotated Bibliography Instructions
Your annotated bibliography score ultimately accounts for more than a letter grade in BIOL 2117L, and should be taken seriously. As always, please see your instructor if you need any help or clarification on completing this assignment.
You will compile a list of a minimum of three sources on the infectious disease you selected with instructor approval. Your written annotated bibliography of these references will give credit to the sources you used in your research.
See information on our online resources for specifics about format. Your annotated bibliography should include at the minimum 3 sources, each with the following:
Properly formatted citation (APA, MLA or Chicago Style)
Description about what information you used from the source
Should be 2-3 sentences with description of the information
Discussion about why you chose the source as a trusted, reputable source
This involves two parts: discussing the value of the source and the credibility of the source should be 2-3 sentences
The Annotated Bibliography will be graded using the “Disease Project Annotated Bibliography Rubric”.
More information on references and examples:
The types of references you use should include books, scientific articles, and websites. You should have at least one reference from each category, but do not limit your references to three you need more than that.
Your bibliography entries can be in APA, MLA, or Chicago style. This website gives instructions on those different style types (See the navigation menu on the left of the target website to view the details of various citation formats). This website will actually generate a citation for you in the proper format.
An annotated bibliography includes descriptive information about each reference in paragraph form directly beneath the reference. This website provides instructions and examples for preparing an annotated bibliography.
When writing your annotations, include elements 1, 2 and 3 under the heading “What elements might an annotation include?” found on the website.
Part of the research process is evaluating your resources.
Begin with this Introduction.
Then using the navigation menu on the left of the target website, read the following sections: Where to Begin, General Guidelines, and Evaluating Digital Sources.
Don’t worry about the powerpoint. Instructions.
citations and annotated bibliographies should be on separate sheets
