Explain why these are among the most important, in your opinion. To the extent that it’s possible, link each topic to material you’ve learned in this course. (50 points)Information to IncludeBrief explanation of each topic your group chose
A few statements of support/evidence explaining why each topic is important
How does this topic relate to what you’ve learned in Human Physiology thus far?
This is a very flexible assignment. Your chosen topics may include how to treat the disease, prevent it, decrease its spread, test for it, or anything your group finds relevant.
I will not discuss my opinions about this with anyone prior to the due date. The point is for you to discuss with your group, and use your collective critical thinking skills to form opinions that you can support.
Your answers should be clear and concise. Begin by aiming for 1.5-2 pages in length, 2-3 pages maximum total length (with reasonable font size and margins, 1.15 or 1.5 spacing preferred).
I expect you to be thoughtful and reason through the facts, but ultimately there are no wrong answers to this question. Don’t worry about finding the “right” answer, focus on finding good answers
If you wish, you may consult additional sources, beyond what is provided. Sources must be from reputable scientific publications or news outlets (not facebook posts or random opinions).
If you work in health care or are in direct, personal communication with other folks who work in health care, those experiences are valid to use as support for your answers.
If you seek out your own sources, include a citation in your paper (URLs are fine, you can also cite personal communication and describe your source’s role in health care).
An “A” paper answers the questions thoroughly, clearly, and concisely with all facts correct and support for opinions provided. I acknowledge the facts on COVID-19 are rapidly updating, so as long as you cite your sources, it’s okay if your information is not perfectly up to date when the paper is turned in.
A “B” paper generally has facts correct and opinions expressed with reasonable support, but lacks the clarity of an “A” paper.
A “C” paper has minimal clarity with factual errors or incomplete answers. A “D” or “F” indicates major factual errors, lack of clarity and/or incompleteness.
This is a short paper given there may be several people contributing to it. The main work should happen “behind the scenes” – in all the group members expressing ideas and then collectively prioritizing and writing/editing the three topics considered most important. Everyone’s “favorite” might not make it into the final paper, and that’s part of the point of the assignment. It can be a challenge for a group of people to come to consensus. The first paper was about your individual opinion, the second is a collective/shared opinion piece.
