Guidelines for student exploration of data.

	Guidance used for student exploration and interpretation of data
1	Interpret 16S data in terms of how heirloom different from commercial and any unexpected results
2	Interpret meaning of class-wide results for difference in the CRISPR array size in commercial vs heirloom
3	Speculate on whether results do or do not have implications for human health (discuss general implications from class data as a whole AND at least one specific implication of one of the particular viruses your strains are immune to)
4	Discuss limitations of this project and ways to improve the method
5	Suggest future experimental or literature or database research directions

To earn full credit, students needed to include all items in the discussion section of their lab reports. (Full lab report rubric available in Supplementary Material).
