- CER:
- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning — make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure — the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities — you open it through Schoology.

💡 Big idea: A finalized and submitted evidence package is the professional deliverable: science that is not documented and turned in does not count.
- 0-10 minCollect case analysis, control plan, and CER; organize into one labeled package.
- 10-30 minRubric self-check: vocabulary, chain-link citations, prediction, limitation.
- 30-45 minAdd source citations and unresolved-limitation notes.
- 45-60 minUpdate tracker: status, confidence rating, one reflective note.
- 60-75 minSubmit in Schoology; save confirmation.
- 75-80 minPreview outbreak unit; write one question you have about epidemiology.
- • This is your documentation and submission day: treat it like closing a clinical incident report.
- • Every artifact needs a label, a source, and a limitation note before the package is complete.
- • Handling and documentation discipline is explicitly tested on WebXam 072110 strand 1.
- • A tracker entry with an honest confidence rating helps you study smarter for the WebXam.
- 1Compile the case analysis, control plan, and CER into one labeled file.
- 2Check the package against the rubric for completeness and vocabulary.
- 3Cite sources and note any unresolved limitations.
- 4Update the project tracker with status and a confidence rating.
- 5Submit the package through the course portal on time.
- • Submit a complete, rubric-aligned package on time.
- • Tracker reflects accurate status and a reflective limitations note.
- • A complete infection-control package includes the case analysis, control plan, and CER as distinct labeled artifacts.
- • Every source cited in the package must be real and accessible, not placeholder text.
- • A tracker confidence rating below 100% is useful data; it directs targeted review before the WebXam.

Unit 3.1 Nosocomial Nightmare: Hospital-acquired infections, chain of infection, pathogens, immune response, infection control. · Submit tracker and evidence
Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 3.1 Nosocomial Nightmare activities show a completed or submitted status.
All Lesson 3.1 unit activities should be marked complete before you close the platform.
Every activity in the Lesson 3.1 infection section should be done by end of today.
Platform completion status plus Schoology package submission.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
