DISEASE FACT SHEETS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
For this assignment, you will select three infectious diseases for each of the Disease Fact Sheet
Assignments. For the first assignment, you will choose three diseases from Category A, for the
second, three diseases from Category B, and for the third, three diseases from Category C. The
list of diseases comes from the Disease Fact Sheet: National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Disease (NIAID) Reference List. Students will thus create three fact sheets of three
diseases each for a total of nine diseases throughout the course.
INSTRUCTIONS
In modules 3, 5, and 8, you will choose three infectious diseases (from Categories A, B, and C
respectively).
Each assignment submission will include three disease fact sheets in the form of a single
horizontal PowerPoint slide. The informational content in each fact sheet must be constructed
with evidence from credible sources (peer-reviewed journal articles, books) and/or, authoritative
organizational websites, such as the CDC, FDA, National Institutes of Health (NIH)/ National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID, etc. See the Disease Fact Sheet

I have already done assignment 1, category A, so now you are doing for category B and C. Each
category has to be submitted in a 1-page word document with the information used in the slides,
and 3 slides, a single disease per slide. So you need to submit four files in total. Five academic
sources for each
