Section Title:
Pandemics
Section Info:
Pandemics (worldwide outbreaks of infectious disease) are among the most impactful events in human history. Through this 8-week online course, we will study the major historical and modern pandemics from a biological, social, and political perspective. We will compare these past events to the public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and use this knowledge to interpret events and scientific discoveries related to the current pandemic. The first 4 weeks of the course will be dedicated to exploring major pandemics in human history and the second 4 weeks will be dedicated to exploring modern pandemics, starting with the 1918 influenza and then focusing on the current challenges related to controlling COVID-19. Student participation in this 2-credit hour course will include one hour of recorded lecture per week and one hour of synchronous discussion per week, along with assigned readings from historical perspectives and the science news, online quizzes, and two online exams.
