    FAQs Lab Report 2

    Q) Is Lab Report 2 a full lab report?


    Yes. For you lab report 2, you will need to provide a full report with a Title, Abstract,
    Introduction, Results, Discussion and Conclusion. Please refer to the Assignment Help guide
    for Assessment Task 2 on your unit guide (Contents/Assessment/Assessment Task 2) for
    more details on what should be given in each section.

    Q) What should the introduction section include?


    In the introduction section you should introduce pathogen detection from foods, the techniques
    used in the practical (their principle advantages/disadvantages) and the case study used in the
    prac. Are there alternative techniques that are used for performing pathogen detection?

    Q) Do I need to prepare my individual Results table?


    For the Results section you have been provided a word template for presenting your
    individual results. You can find it under Contents/Assessments/Assessment Task 2/Individual
    Results Template_Prac 4. Please copy paste this in your report. You do not need to draw
    your own table.

    You are expected to also provide answers for the questions on PCR and MALDI in the results
    section. You can present them below the results table.

    Q) How should I represent the Class results?


    There are no class results for this prac. You only present and discuss your own results.

    Q) Where do I find the information I need for the report?


    You can find relevant documents/results on the unit site under the module Practical 4.

    Q) How should I address the discussion section


    You need to discuss each approach (culture-based (biochemical), molecular based and
    MALDI-TOF MS). Culture based methods need to be discussed in more details since that has
    more method covered
    ➢ Culture-based methods (need to talk about biochemical based confirmation here)
    • Focus on explaining why the test samples gave the results that they gave on a
    particular media,
    • Similarly for the biochemical tests used state why they worked or did not work
    (need to reference where necessary)
    • You do not have to discuss every single test. You need to choose a couple of
    tests for each pathogen and discuss these.

    ➢ Molecular approach
    • Don’t go into detail about how it works, not expected. Can generally state what
    the basis behind it is.
    • Discuss why the samples you loaded gave a positive or negative result.
    ➢ MALDI-TOF MS
    • Don’t go into details about how it works. Can generally state what the basis
    behind it is.
    • Why was the confidence score high or low? If a No ID was obtained what could
    be the reason?
    Q) Do I need to have an appendix section?
    You don’t have to. But if you want you can have one where you include any supplementary
    data that you may have.

    Q) Is there a levy on the word limit?


    No there is no levy on the word limit. As per policy the marker will stop reading beyond the
    permitted word limit of 1000 words.

    Q) What is not counted in the word limit?


    References, Tables, Figures, Headings and sub-headings are not considered part of the word
    limit.

    Q) Which reference style are we supposed to use?


    Please refer the Assessment Task 2_Help guide on your unit guide. You can find this under
    Contents/Assessment/Assessment Task 2.
