Public Health 150A

The Introduction to Epidemiology and Human Diseases class has two homeworks: the first deals with using PubMed as a resource, the second deals with answering questions in time for the lab session.

Using PubMed is necessary for researching on certain diseases and composing Fact Sheet, which contains enough information that you can show to another person, allowing them to have a gist of what a disease does, where it comes from, whom it affects, when its symptoms appear, how to treat it, and why you should worry.

I don’t know what kind of lab the Public Health class will be, because the only lab experience I had was in Chemistry and Biology. In Chemistry, I had to focus on doing experiments, while in Biology, I had to dissect animals and to look at specimens.
