Course Description:

We are constantly hearing about AIDS, malaria, H1N1 (swine flu), and the importance of vaccinations. In this

class you'll have the opportunity to learn the microbiology behind common modern diseases how vaccinations

work. We'll explore how the immune system fights disease, why some of us are more susceptible to disease,

and how we can minimize our vulnerability. We'll stack the benefits and risks of vaccinations. We'll also follow

the any news events that concern the topic. During the second semester students produce a research paper on

some aspect of a modern infectious disease using MLA citing and form and will present that information to the class.

Objectives:

Know the cause, mode of transfer, and treatments of the ten most deadly modern diseases.

Know the basic premiss of vaccinations. (And the issues surrounding them)

Name the components of a healthy immune system and anything that may compromise it.

Be able to identify bias in research or in mainstream literature.
