Human Body- Investigate Various Pathologies and Ailments

Human Body- Investigate Various Pathologies and Ailments

For this project, students were placed into teams of health care researchers.  Each team was assigned a certain pathogen (I used fungi, bacteria, and viruses since three teams worked well for the class size that I had) and told to develop a presentation to convince a group of investors to invest in the fight against their pathogen.

Presentations were expected to be professional (not a Bristol board poster with pictures glued on it) and timed (students were cut off after their time limit – finished or not).  Students were assessed based on content, quality, and professionalism.  An independent panel was brought in to judge the student presentations and decide how much of their money to invest.
