As World populations rise, so do pathogens capable of causing human disease. These infectious diseases can be defined as a type of “wicked problem,” in which no clear solution exists, due to their complexity. To manage this increase in infectious disease cases, current biotechnological advances can be used to design more effective methods for detecting, treating and preventing infectious diseases. These new methods often are possible to deploy in areas at a lower cost, or in locations where resources may be limited. This class will examine primary literature and review papers to learn about all angles of infectious disease management. This includes, but is not limited to: development of assays for low- level detection, application of nanosized agents for drug delivery, and design of novel vaccines for emerging infectious diseases, including Ebola, Zika, SARS, and cholera. Students will help design and run class sessions, present papers in a journal club style format, and produce formal short and long writing assignments based on the primary literature

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:
Choose an article. Read through it, thinking about ways to improve the language, such as fixing grammatical mistakes. Then, make the appropriate changes. You don’t need to contribute new information to the article.
You'll want to find or create an appropriate photo, illustration, or piece of video/audio to add to an article.
