The purpose of this assignment is to write a summary on a news article or video about microbiology, microorganisms, or diseases caused by pathogens (virus, bacterium, protist, fungus, or helminth).
Make sure to find and summarize your own articles – do not use the same article as another student, and do not copy from others. Each Summary is worth up to 6 points added to your lowest test grade.
Articles must be a news piece no more than 3 months old, and must have a length of at least 250 words. A news video must be at least 1.5 minutes.
A general educational summary or encyclopedia-style article will not count – it must be current events news. Do not use articles posted or covered by the instructor.
