The Recording of Student Performance in the Microbiology Laboratory as a Training, Tutorial, and Motivational Tool

The laboratory component of a microbiology course consists of exercises which mandate a level of proficiency and manual dexterity equal to and often beyond that recognized among other biology courses. Bacterial growth, maintenance, identification (e.g., Gram stain, biochemical tests, genomics), as w...
