I have attached the paper instructions along with an example from another prompt that got an A. I also have attached the rubric. I am writing my paper on option 4 from the instructions. I have also attached my rough draft.

Students will design 4 original clinical case studies, each incorporating results from at least two or more laboratory departments (e.g., Hematology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Immunohematology, Urinalysis, or Molecular Diagnostics).

Each case must be presented in a stepwise format a small portion of information (e.g., patient history, partial results) is given, followed by a question or prompt, then additional data or findings are revealed. This format should lead the reader through the diagnostic reasoning process, encouraging analysis before each reveal.

Each case should demonstrate accurate lab interpretation, clinical reasoning, and professional presentation. ALL sources used must be cited.

Cases will be graded according to the rubric attached.

In order to ensure the dissertation reaches distinction level (80%+), the final write-up should go beyond descriptive content and demonstrate strong mechanistic depth, methodological precision, and critical analysis. The introduction must clearly position the research within the current literature, defining the gap regarding wavelength-specific phototaxis and integrating the roles of photoreceptors, c-di-GMP signalling, and Type IV pili in a coherent mechanistic framework. The methodology section should be highly specific, including exact GEO dataset accession numbers, strain details (Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803), light conditions, statistical tools (e.g., DESeq2), and defined thresholds such as adjusted p-values and log2 fold-change cut-offs. The discussion must critically interpret findings rather than describe them, compare results with existing studies, address biological significance, and acknowledge limitations such as transcriptprotein discrepancies and experimental constraints. Overall, the dissertation should reflect analytical depth, clear logical integration between behavioural and transcriptomic data, and the tone of a junior researcher rather than a descriptive summary.

While reviewing my oral presentation, I realised there are a few areas that need to be strengthened in the written dissertation. In particular, the methodology section needs greater specificity (e.g., clearly stating the transcriptomic datasets used, statistical thresholds such as adjusted p-values and log2 fold-change cut-offs, and analysis tools like DESeq2). I would also like the final write-up to include deeper mechanistic explanation linking wavelength sensing, photoreceptors, c-di-GMP signalling, and Type IV pili-driven motility. Additionally, a more critical discussion of limitations (e.g., transcript levels vs protein activity, assay variability, ecological relevance) and stronger integration between behavioural data and transcriptomic analysis would help elevate the project to distinction level. Please ensure the final version reflects this depth and critical analysis throughout.

Write a reaction essay to the free will reading. This must be at least two pages in length (12 point font, double spaced). Using artificial intelligence, including writing enhancers like Grammarly and Quillbot, is not allowed. Try to include evidence that supports your viewpoint.

1. After reading a variety of viewpoints on free will, what is your perspective on this debate? Does free will exist or not, or is there some kind of intermediate possibility?
2. The essay mentions drug addiction as evidence against free will. Most drug addicts would like to quit, yet cannot bring themselves to stop their drug use behavior. Explore this idea further. How does our viewpoint on free will influence how we think of drug use? Is it a moral failure that should be punished (free will) or an unfortunate example of how little free will people have that should be addressed with addiction rehabilitation.

Clean Water Act

How it can be improved

1. Provide stricter consequences (higher fees, more jail time)
2. Expand beyond only municipal wells
3. Not only focusing on high-risk threats now, also include low and moderate
4. More people to help ministers so no automatic amendment approvals
5. Establish plan for private wells
6. Include NGOs (e.g. green peace)
7. Science based methods for risk to water stay up to date
8. Technology
9. Microplastics
10. Population changes and increase demand

This is an short essay assignment. Consisting one 3 questions. – Each question must be a minimum of 300 words You must use one peer-reviewed scholarly source It must be cited in APA format No direct quotes allowed (paraphrasing only) Spelling and scientific formatting (italicized scientific names) matter I attached a document with the links of the lecture slides YOU MUSTTTT go through them The other document is where you will see the questions and instructions and the rubric. The last document is about APA citation it must be done perfectly because it is very important. if you cant handle this assignment dont take it

Attached is the instructions and the template to be filled out

For this assignment I want you to create 5 quiz questions based on the questions from the study guide in the week 5 module. It can be any type of question you want to create: true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, short answer, or essay.

In Step 2 of your scientific essay, you will deepen your research and begin shaping your ideas into a clear, structured plan. Youll complete two deliverables: An annotated bibliography of at least three credible sources, each with a summary and explanation of relevance to your topic. A working outline of your essay, showing the structure of your argument and how your ideas will be developed across the paper. This assignment helps ensure your research is well-organized and supports a coherent, evidence-based essay. Deliverables Submit a single document that includes: A working outline that maps out your essay sections, main arguments, and supporting evidence. An annotated bibliography with at least 5 credible sources (textbook, academic journal, government or university websites, etc.). Each annotation should: Summarize the source Explain how it relates to your topic Follow APA citation style Assignment Objectives This step will help you: Locate, organize, and critically evaluate scholarly or credible scientific sources relevant to your approved topic. Synthesize research findings to explicitly connect your sources to course concepts and to realworld applications in community, environmental, or global contexts. Develop a structured, evidencebased outline that organizes your essays major sections and supports a logical flow of ideas. Learning Objective Alignment: Organize and evaluate credible scientific sources to support a focused research topic aligned with course concepts in astronomy and planetary science. (MLO-3.2, CLO-E) Develop a structured outline that demonstrates logical organization, evidence-based reasoning, and the application of the scientific method to frame scientific arguments. (MLO-3.2, CLO-F) Directions Review feedback from your approved topic in Step 1. Search for additional scholarly and credible sources. You need at least 5 total (if you listed some in Step 1, build from there). Write an annotated bibliography (about 150250 words per source) that includes: APA citation Summary of the sources key ideas Why is this source relevant to your essay Create a working outline that includes: Tentative title Major sections of your essay (e.g., Introduction, Background, Key Arguments, Conclusion) Bullet points for your key ideas and supporting evidence
