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.

MP1 tracker audit
Completes: Completes the marking-period-one accountability check: a revised counseling memo plus a tracker audit listing complete benchmarks and any gaps with completion dates.

Revision note: I revised my counseling memo using feedback that I had not named a concrete next step. I added the recommendation to test the other parent before reproductive decisions.

MP1 tracker audit:

  • Complete benchmarks: BLAST pathogen ID, antibiotics report, culturing lab data table, audiogram classification, pedigree, SNP table, counseling memo.
  • Gaps: My vaccine disease-model comparison sentence is started but not submitted.
  • Completion plan: I will finish and submit the comparison sentence by Friday this week.

Statement: I have confirmed every other MP1 benchmark is marked complete in the course shell, and I have one named gap with a date attached so it does not slip.
