I. Problem

Summary:
Microcomputers are being used for a variety of purposes, but research about their
instructional effectiveness lags behind adoption rates for the technology. Further, there is a
limited research base about the effects of microcomputers in vocational agriculture on
learning in the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. The research base is even
shallower when effects of testing students by computer technology are explored. (Sample)

Comments:
The problem statements agreed with the title and seemed to be of educational
significance. The problem was not clearly visible to the average reader, and it required several
readings to establish why the researchers felt this study needed to be done. It was limited
to the researchers’ capabilities and resources. (Sample)

VI. Findings

Summary:
For the extraction in 70% ethanol its yield of extraction was 2.4 % (w/w), which is lower
compared to the yield of extraction reported in the study conducted by Garedew A., Schmolz E., and

Lamprecht I. (2004). This can be attributed through extraction method and with the use of a rotary
evaporator. The larvae that was dipped in propolis extract for 30 s resulted in 100% narcosis right after
the treatment. The larvae treated with 2% propolis and ethanol is lower. Overall there were more of the
broken wax and accumulated more debris in the controlled group and the lower concentrations.
The record of larvae at 24 hrs and 48 hrs after treatment resulted into pupae unable to
hatch due to contact toxicity of the propolis extract. The treatment with 55% ethanol didn’t show a
significant killing effect towards the larvae compared to the distilled water. This outcome was in line
with the microcalorimetric result in the study Larvae, Pupae and Adults of Yellow Meal worm Tenebrio
molitor L. (Garedew et al., 2004), but this extract is significantly higher mortality to wax compared to
the lower concentrations and untreated controls. For 90% and 80% mortality, 8 and 10% concentration
of propolis were the most toxic and the sixth and seventh larval instar were reported to be more sensitive
to treatments with 10% propolis and showed a 100% mortality rate of seventh larval instars.
With the results given, the use of propolis as an insecticide may help in minimizing
environmental problems such as pollution due to synthetic insecticide and help resolve the problem
involving insecticide resistance.

Comment:
The results were properly presented. The researchers were able to discuss the results
coherently and full of details but to fully understand the results being presented, one must have a
background on how insecticidal is tested. It can’t be easily understand with an average reader and it
needs comprehension to fully understand the result of the study. (change this please)
