LESSON PLAN OVERVIEW: ● Students will engage in critical thinking regarding the

systems of the human body and pathology in Microbiology, and specifically for the following topics: Virual and bacterial infectious Diseases, Disorders associated with Immune System, Microbial Diseases of the Nervous System, Viral Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems, Microbial Disease of the Reparatory System, Microbial Disease of the Digestive System, Microbial Diseases of the Urinary and Reproductive System.

OBJECTIVES: 1. Learn the distinctions and characteristics of the systems

2. Engage in critical thinking through the analysis of the of the pathologies related (Case Study application)

3. Engage in critical thinking by examining the selected pathology with the prospected systems and credibility of scholar researcher.

4. Engage student interest in prospective major RATIONALE: ● Students will benefit by:

1. Performing the critical thinking exercise of exegesis 2. Gaining confidence in by applying what they have learned 3. Executing preliminary research on their prospective major 4. Correlating pattern characteristics of specific systems of the human body.

13. References must be within the last 5 years and no less

than 10 references. All references must be accountable as in-text citations throughout the research report and PowerPoint. In addition, all PowerPoint slides must have citations at the bottom of each slide; read APA PowerPoint explanation, found in the Research Report folder in blackboard. This criterion is a required content to avoid Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work by representing the work of another as one's own without the necessary and appropriate acknowledgment. More specifically, plagiarism is: The act of incorporating the ideas, words of sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof without appropriate acknowledgment and representing the product as one's own work; and the act of representing another's intellectual work such as musical composition, computer program, photographs, painting, drawing, sculpture, or research or the like as one's own. Cheating or plagiarism is dishonest, undermines the necessary trust upon which relations between students and faculty are based, and is unacceptable conduct. Students who engage in cheating or plagiarism will be subject to academic sanctions, including a lowered or failing grade in a course and the possibility of an additional administrative sanction that may include probation, suspension, or expulsion from FNU.

14. Review the rubric for research report and PowerPoint (see page 6 and 7 below). Additional information is also found in the Syllabus.

COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES: (INCLUDE TIMES ALLOWED FOR COVERING TOPICS)
