Excellent
A.2Research question formulation and focus
Excellent
A.3Methodology appropriateness and completeness
Moderate
Criteria Feedback
- The student communicates the biological topic clearly and accurately from the start, so the reader can immediately understand the organism, treatment, and outcome being investigated.
- The student's research question is precise, focused, and experimentally workable, with clear independent and dependent variables.
- The student explains the biological rationale well and generally selects relevant methods to investigate the question.
- Some background material is broader than necessary and could be tightened to keep the investigation even more focused.
- The method has important limitations, especially the lack of replicates and some internal inconsistencies in the procedure.
- A few parts of the method need clearer justification and more precise description to improve reproducibility.

Excellent
Criteria Feedback
- The student uses relevant source material well to build a coherent biological explanation.
- The student's terminology is generally accurate and scientific language is used consistently throughout the discussion.
- The student connects the literature to the investigation in a way that supports the biological context of the work.
- At times the student moves from background literature to claims that go beyond what their own data directly show.
- Some statistical and interpretive language needs more precision, especially when discussing what the results demonstrate.
- The student should be more careful to distinguish changes in biomass from direct proof of antifungal killing or mechanism.
