Students will work on a short case study following the example of the case studies in the textbook. The case study will relate to the epidemiology topic that has been assigned to each team in the class. The intention of this assignment is not to create a complex teaching case, but a simple case study using the knowledge that you have on your Epidemiology paper topic and the different areas of epidemiology that we have reviewed in the textbook.
The case study will be developed by the same teams that are currently working in the Epidemiology topics. Each team will provide a two page justification of the benefits and synergy of the team and also a detailed description of the sections and contributions of each one of the students to the paper. The students will use this Wiki to develop their paper.
The case study will contain: a detailed description of the problem and background with enough information to solve the case; at least 3 questions and teaching notes with a proposed answer for each one of the questions; references or attachments that facilitate the understanding of the problem or provide factual useful information to solve the case; and any additional comments from the authors.
The case study description, 3 questions and tiching notes with the proposed asnwers should be no less than 3 pages and no more than 5 pages long. Attachments are optional and extra. Include one cover page for the ID and executive summary like in all other assignments and if appropriate and used in the text of the case study or in the teaching notes include a final page with the bibliographical references that should be cited in the text using APA style.
Students will discuss their case ideas on the Discussion Tool of WebCourses under "Case Study Development" posting at least one message a week in their topic and one response to at least one of their peers' section. In addition students or other guests can also use the discussion tab on the top of the respective Wiki page.
The assignment will be submitted as a Word document attachment in the Assignments tool of WebCourses and also to Turn-it-in by July 26 at noon.
