What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Launch self-quiz plus portfolio reflection
Completes: Your submitted launch self-quiz in the course shell, paired with a portfolio folder holding your notebook entry and intervention inventory and a short written reflection.

Self-check against the template before submitting:

  • Notebook entry has all six parts: date, question, what I did, data, what it means, next step. Yes.
  • Intervention inventory has at least ten entries sorted into three columns plus a prediction. Yes.
  • Safety contract signed and portfolio login works. Yes.

Reflection (two sentences):

  • One thing I learned: a good lab notebook entry has to be detailed enough that a stranger could repeat exactly what I did.
  • One question I still have: how do scientists decide which diagnostic test to trust when two tests disagree?

Last step: I confirmed all three items show as Turned In in the course shell before leaving.

Also due today: Confirm every submission shows as turned in before you leave.
