eNotebooks by LabArchives are used in the course as provided by the Biotechnology Program (accounts are about $15/student and are valid throughout matriculation at NC State). Dedicated lab laptops allow use with gloves only for continuous entry. Daily notes are submitted and individually read and approved by the TA, or directed to be corrected. Images from cell phones are uploaded. Saves time for all and is an efficient data management system. A separate shared Google Sheet is maintained to monitor the progress of phage isolation from different enrichments. Students often finish well before the 3 hour maximum time period.
