Instruction for Pack back Assignment
The name of this assignment is called Packback:
Packback is a mandatory interactive social media program we will use in BCHE 341. Participation is a requirement for this course, and the Packback Questions platform will be used for online discussion about class topics. In order to receive your points per week, you must ask 1 strong question relevant to the lesson for the week using the assigned material from the class that I will upload in the files titled (BCHE 341. Ch 4.pdf) or chose a topic or subject that you may be curious about or have interest in and want to ask the class that is science, health, or biochemistry related.
First thing to do for the assignment:
After reading the file titled (BCHE 341. Ch 4.pdf) that I have uploaded, you need to form a strong question related to the reading (BCHE 341. Ch 4.pdf) or chose a topic or subject that you may be curious about or have interest in and want to ask that is science, health, or biochemistry related. When done forming the question, I will have to run the question through the Pack back system to see if it obtains the proper amount of points for the assignment and to make sure it is not flagged for plagiarism. Please check out Pack back website to see the program guidelines on writing a question and what the requirements are on plagiarism when forming a question (If the question is plagiarize it will be flagged and not accepted). Read through the document to help become familiar with the topic on cells and use the information in the document along with whatever information you can find through research to assist in forming the questions properly.
When forming the question:
The question formed has to be an open-ended question on a topic.
The question formed must not be plagiarized or copied from online; an original question made up on your own.
The question also has to be a strong question that I have to put on Pack back and the question has to earn anywhere between 50 to 100 points in weight to be a good question and if it doesn’t weigh between that range it will not be accepted and we have to continue to work on the question. Along with the question you have to add a description that helps explains and adds content to your question. Also in the description following the question, provide background information supporting the question that gives the other classmates all they need to know to attempt to respond to your question. For example, I will include below a question that has already been posted on Pack back by a classmate and my professor said the question was formed properly and it obtained 64 points and that it was done properly and was what she is looking for.
When forming your question it should be set up like the below example:
Below is an example of a question posted along with the description of the question on the subject: This is how the question that you form should be structured and how the description on the subject should be following the question to back up the question. The question has to be unique and your own question about the lesson, not a question already posted online or in a book.
Example of two questions already written showing what the professor wants:
Question 1
How are trace elements vital to the life processes occurring on Earth and within the physiology of various organisms?
Question 2
Can you think of any disease or health complication related to the mutation of an amino acid within a peptide chain?
