It will show that you can identify credible sources of \u00a0information and compare and contrast results across varying studies in \u00a0order to solve a problem and make a well-informed decision. It will also \u00a0show that you can identify sampling, measurements, and analysis in a \u00a0scientific study. The ability to interpret scientific information from a \u00a0variety of sources is essential in order to make important decisions in \u00a0everyday life. Problem solving is a universal skill and one you will \u00a0continue to refine as you progress throughout your career. This \u00a0assignment asks you to use what you\u2019ve learned in Weeks 3\u20136 of the \u00a0course about examining scientific research for solving real-world \u00a0problems.<\/p>\n<p>Worried about where to start? The good news is that you\u2019ve already \u00a0laid the foundation with the webtext activities in Chapters 4 and 5. \u00a0This assignment will apply what you learned in those activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your goal for this assignment is to:<\/strong> \u00a0Practice your problem-solving skill. You will do this by answering \u00a0questions in Chapter 6 of the webtext as you are guided through a \u00a0process of selecting the best source of information about treating \u00a0COVID-19 with the drug remdesivir. You will ultimately select a source \u00a0of information and analyze it for study design, sample size, and \u00a0conclusions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you need to complete this assignment:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Completed activity from Chapter 4.<\/li>\n<li>Completed lab from Chapter 5.<\/li>\n<li>Template in Chapter 6 of the webtext.<\/li>\n<li>Downloaded Word document from completed webtext template.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Steps to complete:<\/strong> \u00a0Complete the assignment in Chapter 6 of the webtext. When you are \u00a0finished, download your assignment and submit your Word document in the \u00a0Assignment link in Week 6 in Blackboard using the following steps:<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 1:<\/strong> Review the scenario for Assignment 2 in Chapter 6 of the webtext.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenario:<\/strong> You are a \u00a0research assistant at a firm that invests in pharmaceuticals. Your \u00a0manager asks you to write a report about treating COVID-19 with \u00a0remdesivir, an antiviral drug that your firm is considering for \u00a0investment. This report should be based on an appropriate and credible \u00a0source of information. Furthermore, your report should contain these \u00a0points of information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What makes your source high quality and credible.<\/li>\n<li>Remdesivir\u2019s effectiveness in treating COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>How we know whether it is effective or not.<\/li>\n<li>The dose and course of treatment of remdesivir.<\/li>\n<li>Adverse effects associated with remdesivir and any limitations in the study.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your manager has also requested some key \u00a0details about remdesivir. Your source of information should describe the \u00a0amount of remdesivir given to patients (called a \u201cdose\u201d or \u201cdosage\u201d) \u00a0and how long patients are treated with the drug (sometimes called a \u00a0\u201ccourse\u201d). This will help your firm estimate the drug\u2019s future pricing \u00a0and choose whether to invest in it. Finally, your source should describe \u00a0any adverse side effects associated with the drug and any limitations \u00a0on the study itself, because these factors can affect a drug\u2019s success \u00a0in the market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 2:<\/strong> Complete the questions that follow the scenario in Chapter 6 of the webtext.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 3:<\/strong> Download the completed assignment from Chapter 6 of the webtext.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 4:<\/strong> Upload the completed Word document to the Assignment 2 link in Week 6 of Blackboard.<\/p>\n<p>Grading for this assignment will be based on the following rubric:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Assignment 2: Credible Science and Real-World Problems Due: Week 6Points: 150 Skill(s) Being Assessed: Problem Solving Criteria for Success: In this assignment, you will: Explain why the NEJM is a credible and high quality source.
