GLOBAL AND DIVERSITY LEARNING ASSIGNMENT: BIO 311
TOPIC: Global impact of infectious diseases

GDL ASSIGNMENT:

You will be involved in preparing a project that will allow you to explore the above mentioned global concern through…
1. Comparative discussion: By hearing different viewpoints adding layers to learning of the content being discussed.
2. Investigative approach: You will be involved in “researching” beyond the frame work of the course content.
3. Articulation of a personal stance: You will start formulating your own personal viewpoint / perspective/outlook to construct a new way of approaching/analyzing the course material being discussed.
4. Growth in learning and critical thinking: You will get the opportunity to reconstruct your own ideas and may even be now prepared to take action.
5. Evaluation: You will be allowed to assess your own transformation.

Purpose of this GDL assignment:
There has been a recent resurgence of infectious diseases that in some cases were previously believed to have been eradicated. You will be split up into five groups of six students based on a survey you fill out to indicate the sets of disease outbreaks you would be interested in investigating. Each group will then select one outbreak from the set. The assignment will involve a report to be submitted and an outline or PowerPoint presentation. It will also include surveys (three in total) throughout the semester. The final survey will ask you to formulate your personal stance on how best to stop the most recent outbreak of the disease.

The execution of this project will allow you to
• Identify the key elements of the global issue and analyze that issue from multiple perspectives (Awareness).
• Articulate an informed stance on a global issue through writing (Engagement).
• Identify how position/grounding shapes your own perception of this complex global concern (Transformation).
• Above all you will be learning course material and applying the knowledge to understanding and making an informed decision on an issue which has a global impact (Engagement and transformation).
• You never know, you might be motivated to take “ACTION” (Transformation)

Report Guidelines
Approach to Writing of Report:
1) Provide definitions of all terms, phenomenon and concepts, 2) Explain by providing reasoning and examples, 3) illustrate key concepts in the form of figures, diagrams, images etc..4) summarize all relevant ideas, and 5) research well to gather relevant/credible information.

Format of Report:

• Each category in the “main body” of the paper has its own specifications (word count, topics etc.)
• Use of illustrations/ diagrams/graphics/images is essential (where required).
• You will have to do some research (internet, journals, magazines, text book, library, you tube etc.) to write relevant and appropriate answers
• Summarize, analyze, explain, and evaluate published work rather than merely reporting it
• Present relevant background information on each category.
• Define terms /concepts clearly wherever required.
