Option 1: In the “Factors that Affect Learning” chapter, you learned a term called Meta-cognition. Explain how meta-cognition could be related to Self-efficacy. Based upon only what you learned from your textbook and the videos, describe meta-cognition and self-efficacy, and what those terms specifically mean to you? Based on what you learned in this class only, explain why the two terms are useful to you. You must make specific references to course content in your answer.   Option 2: When teachers are covering new topics, they are often faced with what are called “individual differences in learning”.  According to what you learned from the textbook, FIRST, describe the major ways individuals can differ in their ability to learn new information. Second, name and describe the concept you learned during this class that allows teachers to know what their students know and what their students don’t know. How is meta-cognition helpful to learning?   Option 3: Imagine you work at a major tech company and your boss has asked you to design a smartphone application to teach someone a new language. Consider the principles of learning you read and learned about (classical, operant, and social learning theory). Then create an answer that describes in detail how you would use those principles of learning to design an app allowing a person to learn a new language.

The sequelae rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis can occur as a result of infection with:

Listeria spp. can be confused with some streptococci because it is hemolytic and because both organisms are:

The organism that is considered to be “soluble and sensitive” is:

Thermophiles typically grow optimally within which temperature range?

Fluid from a cutaneous black lesion was submitted for routine bacterial culture. After 18 hours of incubation at 35 degrees Celsius, there was no growth on MAC agar, but 3+ growth on BAP. The colonies were non-hemolytic, nonmotile, 4-5mm in diameter and off white. Each colony had an irregular edge that stood up when gently lifted. A gram stain of a typical colony showed large, gram-positive rectangular bacilli. The organism is most likely:

When examining the colony morphology on a BAP, you note that a small white colony has a raised or bulging center and appears to be convex. You should identify the morphology as:

The antibiotic typically used to treat MRSA is:

Based on colony morphology, antibiotic resistance and hemolytic pattern, the circled organism pictured is likely:  

Eleven (31%) of the approximately 36 patrons reportedly served on the evening of September 22 were contacted in an effort to determine the etiology of the outbreak. A case was defined as anyone who had vomiting or diarrhea within 6 hours of dining at the restaurant. All 11 reported nausea and vomiting; nine reported diarrhea; one reported headache; and one reported abdominal cramps. Onset of illness ranged from 1 hour to 8 hours after eating at the restaurant. Duration of illness ranged from 5 hours to several days. Ten persons sought medical treatment at local emergency rooms on September 22; two ultimately required hospitalization All persons consumed the same food items: fried shrimp; stir-fried rice; fried zucchini, and onions cucumber, cabbage, and lettuce salad; ginger salad dressing; chicken, and tea. Based on the symptom presentation and food consumed, the causative agent of the food poisoning is likely:
