-
Groups of two or three students will prepare a Power Point presentation on a classic “microbe hunter” and a present researcher.
-
In the case of classic scientists, students will base their work on the information provided in the book Microbe Hunters, although they can complement the information from other sources. On presenting the scientist, students will have to explain who he was and his discoveries in their historical context.
-
For present researchers, students will base their work on the podcast and the scientific paper related with the podcast. On presenting the scientist, students will have to explain where the scientist works and his or her research field.
-
A detailed schedule is provided with the presentations dates. Students will have 15 minutes to present scientist and afterwards there will be time for discussion.
-
Every week all the students in the class will have to prepare two questions: one about the “microbe hunter” of the week, and another about the scientist presented on the podcast. In order to prepare these questions, you can use the supporting material of the virtual campus.
