 TASK CHECKLIST

1.       Did you articulate your responses in a clear, organized and understandable manner?

2.       Did you check your work for accuracy of mechanics, i.e., grammar, punctuation and spelling?

3.       Did you provide a logical explanation of three elements necessary to spread infection?

4.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of what can make a potential host susceptible to infections?

5.       Did you provide a reasonable description of three primary modes of pathogen transmission?

6.       Did you provide a reasonable description of eight sites chosen to test?

7.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of the results for each of the sites tested?
