Students complete a three-part project on an assigned human disease, replacing a traditional final exam. The project includes a research paper introducing the disease and its symptoms, a 3-minute video explaining causes and treatments, and an infographic focused on environmental factors affecting the disease. Each component builds on the last, requiring students to synthesize scientific research and communicate effectively to both expert and general audiences.
