In this case study, students in a non-majors microbiology course play the role of public health officials developing a response plan for an act of bioterrorism involving the intentional release of smallpox virus in the U.S. Student groups first listen to an NPR report about a simulated smallpox outbreak and are then told that their task is to create a plan to respond to the outbreak. The groups discuss the case and seek out information they feel will be needed to develop their plan. Information gathered by the groups is posted on the class Blackboard Learn site and each group then devises and posts an action plan. . Ted Szymanski DO. Biologic / Chemical Weapons.
