This week’s essay: Viruses

This week’s homework is the following essay on viruses:

Give an account of the events that occur during the invasion of a host cell by a DNA virus.

As usual, it’s worth 10 marks, so I’m looking for at least 10 good key points – preferably more, just to be on the safe side. I’m looking for Greens on this one – in other words, 7 out of 10 or more.

Remember, I’ll be at the Scottish Learning Festival on Wednesday, so you have two extra periods to catch up on any missing notes (and, if you’re very organised, do your homework!).

    i take it, you could still get full marks if you just did it as bullet points?

      It’s my understanding that, for this kind of question, you can get full marks for bullet points. Some of the extended answer questions give marks for “coherence and relevance” and those have to be written as logical prose to get full marks.
