Trаditiоnаl Diаgnоstics + GIDEON: STOP! Have yоu done the Gram staining section of the exam yet? If not, please go back and do it BEFORE this section. Without having done the Gram staining section, you will be unable to report your results to GIDEON accurately. You have been provided with a set of pre-inoculated plates and/or tubes and you will be asked to interpret the results of these pre-done tests. You will then be expected to report your results to GIDEON and indicate the scientific name of the organism you were given. This will be the same organism that you performed a Gram-staining experiment with on the exam. The results of your Gram staining (including the shape, arrangement, and Gram reaction) are expected to be included in GIDEON. Therefore, it is important that you perform Gram staining FIRST and then move on to this part. You will be asked to answer a series of questions about the pre-inoculated diagnostic tests you have received and then you will report these results to GIDEON and indicate the scientific name of your organism, based on your diagnostic test results. Partial credit will be awarded if you interpret some diagnostic tests correctly but not all. The first question in this section will be worth a total of 10 points and will ask you to analyze the results of the diagnostic tests in question (each worth 1 point). The second question will be worth a total of 5 points and will ask you to report these results into GIDEON and then identify the (full scientific) name of the organism that you believe you were assigned. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: If you do not identify the correct organism in the second question, you will not necessarily get 0 points for that question. I will go through GIDEON myself and report YOUR results (based on what you indicate in the next question and what you indicated in the Gram-staining questions). If you correctly identified the top result yielded by GIDEON (accounting for ecology and whether it is logical or not) based on the diagnostic test results that you report to this exam in the next (10-point) question, you will receive partial credit on the 5-point question asking you for the scientific name of your organism - even if your organism is incorrect. This is due to the fact that we are testing your ability to report results to GIDEON just as much as we are testing your ability to actually interpret these diagnostic test results accurately.
