Subject: Progress Report

Introduction:

My project is a descriptive paper that will serve as an introduction and overview to our website. My primary goal is to provide an inclusive background and denfinition of our problem, antibioitc resistance. I will also be providing a timeline that outlines occurances of antibioitc resistance thoughout history. Lastly, I am including guildelines for using antibioitcs with the goal of maximizing their effectiveness and minimizing antibioitic resistance. My information will come from extensive literature reviews. Additionally, my project will include interviews of two pharmacists to provide expert knowledge on this subject.

Work Completed

I wrote a project proposal outlining the goals of my project and procedures of completion which was completed on September 25, 2010 and submitted on September 27, 2010. To further my research and complete an assignment I wrote a review of a research article that I will include in my report. I submitted this article on October 11,2010. Additionally, I conducted an extensive research review and prepared an annotated bibliography which I submitted on October29,2010. Lastly, I conducted an interview of 2 pharmacists at a local Thrifty White Drug on November 4, 2010. The main focus of these interviews was to collect suggestions for the guideline section of my paper. I also asked these professionals about advice that they give to their patients as they fill prescriptions for antibioitics.

Work Schedule

At this point, I am compiling all of my information that I collected through the pharmacy interviews and literature reviews. I intend to have a first rough draft completed by November 14, 2010. I will then spend the following two weeks finalizing my first draft which will be submitted on November 24,2010. After receiving feedback on my first draft, I will take all comments and prepare my final draft which will be submitted on December 3rd. Lastly, I will compile all of my work that I prepared throughout the semester in a portfolio which will be submitted December 13th.

Conclusion

To date, I am on track to finish the assigned project on antibioitc resistance. I have met every deadline so far and intend on continuing this pattern. Moreover, I believe that my project will be a well prepared contribution to our website on antibioitc resistance. I also think that it will serve an important role on our website as the introduction. Every webpage needs an introduction to set the stage for where the website is going. I hope tie in all of the topics covered on our website in to my paper in one way or another. I think this well give the website a sense of coesiveness that is much needed.

My promise to you all is to continue to work hard in order to produce an outstanding quality report for our class. I feel that we each have a duty to our class to do our best! As always, I am open to any suggestions, comments, or helpful hints that any one may have.
