Name: Post-laboratory Reflection: Volumes, Micropipettes, and Dilutions – Oh My! Instructions: Make sure to scroll through the entire document to answer all questions. It would also help with grading if you put your typed answers in a different (but readable) color font . Save and upload your completed assignment to the associated assignment page on Canvas. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm that the correct file was submitted to Canvas by the due date. Part I: Week 1 laboratory 1. (3pts) In lab, you practiced some fundamental quantitative laboratory skills. Describe at least two takeaways from the worksheet. These can be new things that you learned, concepts that you found helpful to practice or have a refresher on, etc. One takeaway that I had was that we should always set the micropipette before putting the tip onto it. Another is that you should drag the pipette tip on the container to remove any excess fluid to keep the measurements accurate. Part II: Course and Learning Goals 2. (3pts) It is important for students to make the connection between what they are learning in the classroom with the skills needed within post-college careers. Below is a diagram from the College of Arts and Sciences showcasing various career competencies. While this course will touch on a variety of these competencies, our learning goals center around the competency, Analytical and Critical Thinking. Specifically, the main learning goal within this course is that students will be able to apply analytical and critical thinking skills as they carry out the scientific method to address biological questions and problems. Breaking this learning goal down further, by the end of this course, students should be able to:  better understand biological principles governing life.  execute experimental protocols, including a variety of laboratory techniques, to test a variety of biological questions.  use inductive reasoning to develop testable hypotheses and predictions.  analyze data and use deductive reasoning to explain the outcome of an experiment.  design an appropriate experimental protocol to address a new question.  find, critically evaluate, and communicate information on biological questions. Reflect on how you might apply analytical and critical thinking skills to your future career. If you do not know exactly what you want to do after college, that is okay! Simply reflect on the importance of improving these skills in general. 1

My future career is in chiropractics. Analytical and critical thinking are very important to the diagnosis and treatment of pain. I want to grow these thinking skills so I can be more accurate and more efficient when I am dealing with patients. 3. (2pts) Take a look at the topics that we will be covering in this course. These can be found in the course calendar at the bottom of the syllabus. Are there any particular topics that you are especially excited to explore in this class? Why? Mutagenesis of Single-celled Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Ultra-Violet Light seems interesting to me. I worked with bacterial cultures and UV light in high school, and it was very interesting to see the effects it had in such little time. 4. (2pt) Is there anything that you are concerned or worried about in regard to this course? Feel free to explain in as much or as little detail as you would like. I have never been a fan of cellular biology or chemistry, and last semester it seemed that my biology class had a lot of both. I am hoping to avoid these, but if necessary I will get my work done and learn it. 2
