Description
A narrated presentation describing a team-based inquiry assignment for introductory biology students (science majors). Students conduct independent research on the COVID-19 pathogen and proposed treatments for the disease. Students learn about and apply principles of medical ethics. They then meet with others investigating the same treatment to collaborate on a presentation describing the treatment. Finally, the treatment groups are reassigned to "colloquium" groups under the guise of hospital Grand Rounds to evaluate a variety of treatments, and to select a treatment with the greatest likelihood of helping a critically ill patient.
