Create a slide that includes a detailed reflection that describes at least one benefit of your individual experience in this lab course.
Include an appropriate, descriptive title (something unique)
This is your opportunity to provide a thoughtful, unique reflection on your experience working through the Wolbachia project in this course. Please do not say “I need to improve my pipetting.”
This reflection should be a statement that you could NOT have made at the beginning of the semester.
For example, DO NOT include something vague like...
"learned the real process of science"
"did hands on lab work"
etc.
DO NOT WRITE A PARAGRAPH. No one wants to read a paragraph on a PowerPoint slide, ever. Make concise, bulleted points just like in all of the other slides!
(My pipetting wasn't accurate in terms of volume when adding the loading buffer during the PCR process)
